Would anyone suggest perhaps reccoment not getting my bachelors from my current school and just switching over to nursing? Honestly, my major is English and the only reason I wanted to finish is because I thought that it could perhaps help me financially while I went through nursing, but I'm pretty sure a final year where I'm at will be more than two or three years at a community college, so... I'm sorry, I'm just very lost at what to do and am afraid of messing up to the point where I can't do anything bout it, since I'm already kicking myself for not choosing a school with a nursing program. I very much appreciate all of your help, really! Happy holidays!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I was actually looking to go the associate's degree route since it seemed a bit cheaper and easier (my current GPA leaves a little something to be desired... ) but that program at St. Kate's looks very interesting and I'll have to look into that - thanks! I think no matter what I'm looking at three years so there's no reason for me to overlook the post-bac programs in the area. Also, thanks for the advice about MCTC. That's pretty close so that should be no problem!

Hi! I'm really hoping someone can help me as I've been waffling back and forth between a few things here and there and I'm absolutely horrified that I might make a bad discussion here or there, so I figure I'd ask all of you for some advice! I'm currently a junior at a college in MN (that does not offer nursing, sadly) and as I've gotten a really good scholarship, I've decided to continue on and graduate, and then start my nursing career. I've looked around at several options here and there, and whereas I'm not exactly sure what program I'm going to peruse (I'm really looking at St. Kate's but it's pretty pricey), I do have a question or two about prereqs. Does anyone have a good suggestion as to where I should take them? I know that a lot of programs require anatomy and chemistry, and those are honestly my two main worries, but I'm not sure what community college I can go to to get those done quickly. I'm really looking to complete these during the summer (preferably this next one) so I can get right back into college after I graduate Spring 2010. Any information would be lovely, and if you've got a good suggestion for a AD nursing program somewhere, I'd love to hear that too!
