Hi everyone, I attended a design school for my freshman year, but I took a risky step by deciding to take a year off to explore other options. I am interested in becoming a RN, then eventually getting my masters to become a nurse anesthetist. However, I have zero personal experience in nursing, and in Korea it is very difficult to do job shadowing/volunteer work for nursing without some sort of diploma or past experience! Can anyone tell me what it is like being a RN and nurse anesthetist? What exactly do you do? And I realize that the road to becoming an RN is a longer than I assumed. And I didn't take any science classes my freshman year at design college. I am wondering if you guys know any good colleges where I could get my prerequisites? Am I supposed to apply as undecided? Or is there a special "prerequisite program for nursing" offered? Also, I wanted to transfer to JHU eventually. I know its hard, but a girl can always dream can't she? What is the shortest route to becoming an RN? What are the pros and cons of a career as a RN? How long would it take to satisfy the prerequisites for nursing school? Any other related advice would be GREATLY appreciated thank you! PS- FYI I am 19 years old, I got okay grades in hs (took several APs), 1970 in my SAT, was in NAHS and NHS, tutored kids english, Varsity cross-country, etc etc. However the problem is I didn't get very good grades in science- biology I got B-s and Cs, and the school actually told me my grades were not good enough for chemistry, so they made me take physical science, but I got As in physical science and environmental science. For math, i failed pre-algebra (i think i got a C-) (i was going thru a rough period in my life) so i had to take 2 math classes one year to catch up (and i got A's and B's!) and took pre-calc (A+). Do you think I have what it takes to get into a decent nursing school? Thank you so much again!!!
