Pre-nursing flip-flopper

Published

Okay, so I started out in pre nursing and it is really what I wanted to do. But, I was given some info regarding the cna requirements that caused me to change to Dental Hygiene. I found out last night that the info I was given was false. Now I don't know what to do. If I go back to nursing as my major I would only finish one semester later than with Hygiene. Any advice????

Thank you,

Angel

If nursing is what you want to do, a one-semester difference shouldn't change that!

What is your passion? What do YOU want to do? I currently work for a dentist and will tell you that finding a job in hygiene is almost harder than finding a nursing position right now. Also, you will most likely work 2 part time jobs instead of one full time and will not be eligible for insurance. A lot of offices don't offer insurance or any benefits even for full time employee's.

Thank you both for responding! Nursing is what I would MUCH rather be doing. My passion is anything to do with the body. That's why hygiene was my 2nd option. My school used to only start nursing in the fall and I was wrongfully told that I had to take cna through them and work as a cna for 6 months. So that would have put me in school 1.5-2 years longer than hygiene. So, that is why I switched. Now, I know that's not true and they start nursing in the fall, spring and summer. I really think I am going to go ahead and switch back :)
