It was too late for me to switch from a Bachelors in Psychology to Registered Nursing so I've been weighing options. Graduating this month.
I have seen direct entry to MSN programs but also I started looking into physician assistant. I know nursing and P. A. are different but I would like to know from anyone else's experience. ABSN isn't an option because I can't afford it- need to work!
Shadowing someone during the pandemic isn't an option and Texas doesn't have any APMNN or ELMSN/Direct entry MSN programs in Houston.
Noted! Although I'm still going through paperwork to finalize m degree. It will say Bachelors in General Studies with an emphasis in Psychology, English and communication. So I guess jm considered a double major??
Yeah I am still taking nursing prerequisites (just finished math of liberal arts, and I have left philosophy/English core and biology. )
I gather you’re pretty young. I definitely recommend finding something job wise to give you some exposure to life outside the academic grind. It will give you a solid feel for whether or not you want to work in a patient care oriented field. Perhaps do some shadowing if that’s not a possibility.

I have experience as a caregiver/nurse aide in memory care facilities and mental health. I'm 25 so not that young.
