Nursing School Application Question

Published

Hi all,

After being on the pre-physician assistant track for two years, I made the decision to switch to nursing. I will be applying to ABSN programs for fall 2021 entry soon and I ran into a question as I prepare my applications.  As a pre-PA student, I was the founder and president of the Pre-Physician Assistant Club at my university. I was wondering if I should include that achievement on my resume and applications for nursing schools exhibit my leadership skills or not. I wouldn’t want it to seem like I’m not dedicated to the nursing profession because I am. Has anyone had a similar dilemma?

I would definitely include it. It shows leadership! As long as you have a solid answer for why you decided to switch into nursing and your dedication to the nursing field, I think you will be fine!
