Officially a Pre-Nursing Student

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I went back to school this past fall intending to go into Health Information Technology. I had wanted to be a nurse when I was younger but never thought I could do it.

I've enjoyed school so much and realized that with work I can get good grades. I've been thinking most of the semester about changing my major and decided to go for it! I'm taking A&P 1 and algebra in the spring and am really excited about it. I'm going part time and taking ALL my gen-ed classes before applying because my youngest is in Kindergarten and I don't want to start such an intense program until he is in 3rd grade.

I'm really excited but also scared. It was hard to admit that I really wanted this!

Thanks for the encouragement! It's exciting and scary at the same time.

JayGirl - I hear you about people dropping! In my psych class we ended with about half of the students that we began with.

Joephus - At our school you can declare yourself "pre-nursing" at any time. It just means that I intend to apply to the nursing program and when I go online and look at my student account, it tells me what I still need to take for the program. It's not a separate degree or anything. If I got financial aid then it would cover the classes needed for the program and only those classes which is why it's a good idea to be "declared."

Congrats
