No not at all. You know what you want to do so stick with it. Thats the great thing about nursing, you can do just about anything with your degree. I want to work in cosmetic surgery! and also do research on diseases like cancer, and aids. Thats why it's so important to find a foundation in your career so you can stay on top of what you love to do. Just don't feel bad, just know that you are going to make a difference in whoever life you come into. :-)

Well. Your points and grades are not good enough is not really true. I mean this is really silly. Like childish. Every woman and male who craves to be a nurse as much as I do will do what it takes to reach their goal. This program was not created to be racist, and as far as the Stats goes for minorities..whites..or whoever. RACE does NOT matter when you are working to save children, adults and the elderly lives. This program makes the people who are in form study groups, tutors, cpr certification before getting into the nursing program, job shadowing,..it's a class on top of the 12+ credits you have to maintain. It's not racist because there are people in this program that are already in the nursing program..It's a form of research to see how well minorities can do in the medical field.. nursing is just one of them. So please everyone this website is called ALLNURSES.COM right? So as pre-nurses and nurses we all should stick together to make a difference and a change. It's just sad that I view this as a good experience and my peers view this as discrimination. I stand with a 3.7 gpa average and I did all of that while maintaining my child, a household, working fulltime and going to school fulltime..I work just as hard as anybody esle who wants to be a nurse. Watch people give up because it's too hard and im still sticking through it just like the women who are in the program and those who are trying to get it. I look at it as HEY..THERE's ONE OF US (NURSES) WHO IS ABOUT TO DO WHAT I'LL BE DOING ONE DAY. i show nothing but love and support.
