I am BSN student, and will start 3rd semester this fall. initially, I was studying to become MLT. soon after I got into a program(BS), I had to relocate due to family matter. I agonized over making that decision since transferring into other college meant starting all over(4 years instead of 2!). but I didn't have a choice. so that was one reason I switched to nursing. I really enjoyed 1st semester, but then reality kicked in. first of all, I was never interested in interaction with patients. but I did my best to bring out all the compassions I have within.....and it did help, but I just cant get used to changing diaper, cleaning body fluids. I have been really depressed lately thinking that I might have made HUGE mistake switching to nursing . I know nursing is way more than just that, but I am having hard time getting used to it...so I need some advice from current MLT or postMLT. what was your intention to become a nurse and did you ever have similar problem? if so how did you overcome it? thank you so much for reading...

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I feel a lot lighter :roll

I am starting nursing program this fall, but I have no idea how hard it is goint be..... I got in with 4.0 GPA though...(I don't know how much that will help) I am not smart. I just studied really hard to get into the program. I know some nursing students just drop out ( nursing program coordinator warned me about that!) I just don't know what to expect... I will really appreciate any advice.
