I am 21 and a current nursing student in the second year of a 4 year program. This is my first time in college and I have an overall GPA of 3.794, and in my last semester I got all A's...4.00! So i would say I'm doing very well in the program. But I have a dilemma, have always wanted to become a Doctor. When I tell people this I get the same question...then why did you go into nursing? And the answer always comes to it felt like the best choice, fast career, descent pay. I feel like that is not a good answer when it comes to Nursing as profession. Now that I'm going into the curriculum...Foundations of Nursing...I just don't feel like it's for me....and I don't feel like I'm going into nursing for the right reasons. It has been making me depressed. And now I'm constantly thinking of transferring and studying something that I enjoy (French) and during that take prerequisite for medical school. Honestly It scares me because nursing has been such a huge investment in my time (and excluding the fact that all my credits will transfer) I feel like I've wasted that time for nothing. Truth is I enjoy my studies and my school but I just always wonder if there is more that I can learn....and If I'm going to regret not going for Medicine when I get older. I may have already answer my own question and posting this may seem irrelevant but I would like to hear....what do you think? And I understand that this a decision I have to make for myself. Advice? Has anyone had the same dilemma? Do you enjoy your career as a nurse? Were you a Nurse who went on to Medical School? Are you a MD who would recommend the NP route? Should I transfer?
