Hi! I am in your same boat(sort of). I have always thought I wanted to be a nurse, but I also wanted the true college experience(sports, activities, social events, etc) For a short bit, I was also a college athlete. I knew that if I chose to go straight to nursing, I wouldn't be able to experience everything that I wanted to experience, because nursing programs can be very busy and the schedules are rigid. Also, I wanted to be able to explore different areas of academics. Doing undergrad as a non-nursing major has given me the opportunity to take some really fascinating classes, which have inspired my dreams and goals for the future. After I graduate, I plan on going to an accelerated, BSN/MSN program. This way, I will be able to have three degrees in about 6(probably 7 for me) years total. Doing all of this will give me an unique experience and background and still allows me to follow my college dreams of pursuing all the activities, internships, study abroad trips, and sports that I am pursuing now. It is not a traditional path to nursing, but I think that it is a valuable one all the same! **Sorry for the messy writing, it is really late and my brain is tired from all of this studying! I hope all of this helps, and let me know if you have any questions**
