thanks for your reply- it does sound like I would need to switch but I hear nursing is one of the hardest colleges (within my college) to switch into, but I will give it a shot I guess. Any general advice?

anyone have any idea? Anything would be appreciated

I guess this is just a general question for anyone who can answer. I am currently a sophomore at the university of vermont. Currently, I am a history major, but I am thinking of possibly becoming an RN. UVM (my college) has a bridging program for people with a bachelors degree in something other than nursing (they also offer a nursing bachelors degree) however, the program is intended to have you take the classes through the bridge program, take the RN exam, then go on and get a masters and become a nurse practicioner. What should I do? Should I look for another school with just an accelerated RN program, or should I go for this program? It seems (from what I've been told) NP's don't have the hands on aspect of work that I want to get into. What about transfering into the nursing major? Thanks in advance !
