I'm at the same boat as you! I'm graduating with a BA in Biology by June '09 and am thinking of doing nursing. I too have to fear of pre-reqs, not getting in, and just being the newbie on the floor! But hey, from reading all the post here.. i'm sure you'll find that everyone feels the same way! It's normal to feel aprehensive at times, but you just have to take the chance! You'll never know unless you try. There will always be people bringing you down, but just use that as your advantage and prove them wrong! So what if you dont want to be a Psychologist.. people change their minds thousands of times. A lot of people dont even do anything close to the field of their bachelors after graduating. So... Just go for it! Good luck! ^_^

Hi everyone, I'll be receiving my bachlors in bio within a year and decided to apply to nursing. Through my years of volunteering in various hospitals and an internship in a local community hospital, I'm pretty confident that Pediatrics is where I will fall into. I recently discovered Masters Entry Clinical Nurse (MECN) Program, in UCLA, which leads to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. The program is designed for individuals who have a baccalaureate degree in another discipline to prepare for a career in nursing and is a two year program. However, i'm not too sure if this program would be the best for me. Do any of you, who are more experienced and knowledgable than I am, have any thoughts towards the MECN program in UCLA? If you were actually in, or are in, this program, It would be a great help to hear from you too! Thank you Dorothy
