Nursing to engineering

[Dav49]

Hello everyone,

I am a third year RN student from Toronto (Canada). I feel like I am more into engineering (software or programming type). Does anybody know if its possible to enroll into a masters of engineering program after finishing BScN or has anybody made a switch to engineering? Any info would help.

Thank you,

My SO was a math major and is now an engineer. Was fortunate enough to find an employer that provided extensive onthejob training. Never had to do a masters. Is it possible for you to stop your nursing program and switch to a bachelors in your desired field? Even though my hubs was successful in a nonegineering major, it was still a STEM, and I don't think your nursing program, geared toward social science, will give you the foundation you need. I understand the want to finish what you've started but if you don't desire to work as a nurse, finishing these last two years may be a waste of time and resources.

I dont think I be able to switch now because I wont be able to start until sep2019 and thats three years of my life in the drain. Im thinking of informatics nursing, any thoughts?

Although its more technical, that's not considered engineering. Maybe make sure informatics has what's attracting you to engineering before making anyour decisions.

Another option you could consider is biomedical engineering technology. Biomedical Engineering Technology (Optional Co-op). It would still take three years but you might find it more up your alley. 3 extra years might sound like a lot, but those three years are going to pass by no matter what you're doing.
