I decided I wanted to be a nurse a while ago, worked hard and got into a really competitive program. We’re two weeks in and I hate it. It’s a lot of work but that doesn’t bug me that much. I’m really struggling because I don’t think I want to be a nurse. I don’t know what I was thinking getting into this. Everything we cover is just so incredibly unappealing to me. Like, I don’t want to do any of this. It makes me feel even worse that I wasted a space that someone else could have used. I have always been a pretty social person but school is just making me shut down.

What I know and have been through, you still have to take anatomy and physiology, Microbiology, other biology courses(I'm sure you have at least 1 or 2 already), and Chemistry (1 or 2 of this course, too). Your general ED, such English 101, English 102, psychology, sociology, and other courses will transfer or may not transfer to your preferred school. 

I took mine at CC and public university. Those were credited either public or private nursing schools.

Best you can do is contact the program director or nursing department. Send your unofficial transcript with your email if you're OK with it, so you'll get your questions answered in one.

Is it just nursing school that you hate, or is it nursing in general? Because I would venture to guess that there are tons of people who hated nursing school, but then went on to flourish when they transitioned from student nurse to professional nurse.

Remember that there is so much you can do with a nursing degree. You don't have to work in an acute care setting, you don't have to do bedside nursing, you don't even have to work in a clinical role once you have a little experience. 

I'm sure you worked hard to get into your program, so give it some careful thought and consideration before you give it up. I have had moments in nursing school where I questioned whether I really wanted this, although I've had far more moments where I felt like I made the right decision to pursue nursing.

If you're just completely not interested in healthcare at all... well then yeah, you might want to think about finding a different line of work.
