Is it the same as a four-year BSN? What is the fine print? Can I still do everything I want to do (pursue a Masters)? Go or no go? Thank you

I would turn my declared minor (Psychology) into a major and either apply to an Accelerated BSN program after I graduate or maybe consider going into law. I still don't know exactly what I want to do. I'm still an undeclared major, borderline Pre-Nursing major. This indecision is terrible...

I start in September.

Long story short: I have so many interests. I would be happy being an accountant (for the FBI, investigating white-colar crime, of course), nurse (NICU, psych), psychologist (clinical, research, organizational even), and maybe a few others. I'm starting college in September and I've been considering double majoring in Nursing & Psychology, just to have my bases covered (you know what they say about having a degree in psych). I can see myself working as either a psych nurse, then going on to be a NP or something. I can also see myself becoming a psychologist, PhD and everything. Right now, it's a tough decision, so I'm going to double major and see how I feel after graduating. But I was just curious if anyone else was in the same boat? Did anyone consider becoming a psychologist before becoming a psych nurse? Thanks! :redpinkhe:heartbeat:redbeathe

I begin pre-nursing, BSN track classes in September and let me first say that I belong in the nursing field. I have thought many careers through and this is the one that will, in the end, be the most rewarding career for me personally. There is one thing I'm mainly concerned about: shifts and hours. I have read through "a day in the life of..." threads (whatever is posted on sticky) and I'm trying very, very hard not to repeat any other posts, but this is still a concern for me and I'm going to ask these questions anyways lol :) I know it depends on where I work, but in general (or in your experience)... *What shift should I expect to be working as a NNP? *How do the shifts work? (Will I be working nights one week, then days another?) *What are the health concerns associated with working primarily nights? *Am I going to be sleeping in the day, working all night all the time? I hope I don't sound more ignorant than I'm expected to be It's just nerves, but they can really eat away at you...so expect to be seeing me on these boards for the next, oh, ten years Thank you! darthbreezy :redbeathe
