ejm99 - The Head of the Nursing Program sent me an email with a list of reasons telling me that I didn't have the pre-reqs, which is no problem to me. But also that I have too many credits to begin a new program, that I would get charged for being in school for too many years without graduating, and there were a few other things as well including my 3.3 cum GPA. Just a very discouraging email with a subtext telling me that to try to get into the program isn't a wise idea. That's why I started looking at other schools.

This was soooo helpful. It's hard keeping all the info straight, so it was really nice having it written out like this. It also gave me insight on what my next step might be. So thank you so much for your help!

As a 21 year old college student I have come to full realization that life is a list of cliches. The most current one I'm dealing with is the 'find what you want to do with the rest of your life' cliche and 'just do what makes you happy'. Well in this lies my problem. I am currently about to start my 2nd semester as a Junior in University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire as a Kinesiology student..but I HATE it! I initially wanted to get into nutritional sciences but E.C. doesn't offer that major, and I was advised that KINS was the best way to achieve my goal. Well it definitely isn't, and I can't stand any of my classes! I thought I knew what I wanted, but the last semester has truly forced me to do some soul searching, and thank the Lord above I have finally discovered where my passions lie. I discovered Occupational Health Nursing and immediately fell in love. Only problem is that no matter who I talk to they keep telling me I can't do it! Now I am a very willful person so I am determined not to settle for anything less than what I know will make me happy, but all I am receiving is discouragement from anyone I am talking to. The nursing program here at E.C. seems to be a no go, but the other schools I am talking to aren't accepting transfer students. I have a hard time coping with the idea of going to a Tech school because I already have invested so much into my schooling (time and money and mental capacity) to come out with a 2yr Associate's degree for Nurse Assistant. I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for, and I'm trying to stay positive but I'm not finding a path to the career I want. I just don't know what to do, can anyone please give me advice? Pray for me! Thanks to all for their support :heartbeat
