Not sure if nursing is for me

[SingDanceRunLife]

I'm a freshman at a 4 year college, and a nursing major. Before going to school, I was absolutely set on being a nurse. I just "knew" that's what I wanted to do. Ever since coming (and more importantly, ever since starting A&P), I've been questioning my decision. Most of it is that I hate A&P, primarily because my professor is awful and doesn't teach. I'm not doing well in the course at all, I never want to go, and honestly, even if I do pass, I have basically no desire to take A&P II because although I used to find the subject interesting, I no longer do.

I was stupid to be so sure because I never had any experience in the field. Over the summer, I had plans to be a CNA so that I would be able to have a better grasp on nursing and whether or not I would like it. It didn't work out though because the nursing home that was offering the class had changed it from 2 weeks full time to 6 weeks part time, and by the time it would be over, it would be almost time for me to go to school.

Now I'm not so sure. In fact, I'm not at all sure. I question whether I could make it through nursing school, or heck, even just A&P, whether I would like being a nurse, and whether I made the right decision or not. I'm getting worried even more now because I have to register for my Spring courses soon, and A&P is obviously a big one, and a necessary one if I still want to do nursing.

At this point, I don't even know what to think, or what to do, and could use some guidance.

Thanks.

At my school, the nursing students have no choice as to who they get. This is why I need to do something different.

My school doesn't do online courses, so that's not an option.

I realize that taking a class over the summer will cost an arm and a leg, but it's better than dealing with my current professor again. My mom said that she's more than willing to do it as long as I give A&P I my best shot which includes repeating it in the spring if necessary.

Just be sure that you can take only one part of the A&P series elsewhere. The college that I took them at only gives transfer credit if both courses were taken there.

People often take A&P elsewhere because the fail the first semester and have to repeat it the second semester making them have no choice but to take A&P II during the summer. Sometimes people even do both I and II over the summer at a college other than mine. All I need to do is find an equivalent course at another college and ask for approval to take it and get the transfer credit.
