Thank you for your interest in my topic. I apologize I have not elaborated. Through my younger years I don't know where my head was at, I constantly wonder why my head was in space. I never really thought of myself as a smart person and guess I had no confidence, I frequently wish I can go back and change the way I approached school and education, but It is the past and there is nothing I can change and there is no one to blame except myself. But, from those years I have learned how important education, perseverance, and hard work is. I feel as if I may have grown into a better person then when I look back at who I used to be but I also understand no one will believe me unless I accomplish it myself. I am currently a waitress at a fine dining establishment and have been there for over 5 years, I make pretty good money, drive a nice car, and own nice things, I love to work with people and make them smile so they enjoy their experience. All that being said there's a part of me that hates it. I feel as I am not doing much to benefit others and help them in a way that will change their life, I want to be of service and want to comfort others, I am compassionate, caring, and empathetic. It is something I feel I always had, but never did anything about it. I feel as if these qualities can be put to better use and nursing is a career I can see myself doing and going home exhausted knowing I helped someone else. Just because someone has had an undesirable past does not mean they cannot change, and have a different direction in life. No one is doomed by my past and believe anyone deserves a second chance. Thank you

I can relate to you completely I too have been in and out of hospitals and never actually thought about becoming a nurse until last year, I also completed Interior design and I find it more as a hobby not a career choice and wish I has started thinking about nursing sooner. I would say go with your gut! I never liked biology or was never good at school but I believe if you work hard enough you can do it.

I never took high school seriously and have gone to college twice for fields i never had passion about. I want to pursue nursing and my preferred school is McMaster University, would it make more sense to take a pre health course at a college and then apply? I called the school and the admissions advisor also said i can apply part time for social science and then switch over to do nursing accelerated program. I'm worried if I do the two years of social science and don't get accepted in the nursing program for whatever reason then did I waste two years in the social science program? and what happens to the pre requisites like the grade 12 U Bio, math, English etc. If I enter the social science program does it mean I wont need those pre requisites anymore? I am 23 years old if it makes any difference and feel as if I want to start this ASAP since by the time I graduate I will be 29 or so. I am finally starting to plan out my future and don't know where to start any help would be appreciated!!
