Lol thats exactly what I feel like, a guinea pig. I don't know what's up with my professor. I had three friends that took her, three different semesters, and they said she never did this lol. We also did other things like disrupting someone's reality? lol We had to do something that would make someone feel uncomfortable or weird them out. Like randomly taking a picture of someone, screaming loudly in the hall way, getting really close to someone's face when you started to talk to them, lol idk just crazy things.

you're right I changed it.

I'm taking a sociology class right now and our teacher decided to replace the final exam with a group project. This group project is more of a contest. The group with the best project will get a perfect 100. The next 96, the next, 92, the next 88, the next 84, 80, 76, 72, and 68. So no matter what, a group of people in the class will get a 68. The teacher separated the whole class into groups by their majors. Our teacher combined the majors Nursing, Pre-med, and Pre-Dentistry for our group. Most of the groups have 3 to 7 people in their group. Our group has thirty! :eek:You think that having such a large group will be an advantage. It was hard to talk to everyone at once and try to grasp ideas from everyone. We have to make up an 8 by 11 sheet paper, that states how the study of sociology is mandatory for our fields of study. The sheet has to be full of information, pictures, symbols, and has to tell a cohesive and comprehensive story. We decided to use some of the main points that we focused in class this semester which is: Understanding Culture, Deviance, Race and Ethnicity, Gender, Families, Education and Religion. So I wanted to know if any nurses will mind sharing some of their experiences with these topics. All experiences and opinions are appreciated :)

I guess I missed this post the first time you posted. Okay to be honest, I had decided to major in Family and Consumer Science without actually researching it first. I was going by what a "friend" told me about this major. And I had grasped the concept that it was something like social work. When you said home economics, I researched more into the major you are so right. I am SO GLAD I read this. Here's a description I found on Family and Consumer Science: 1. Family and consumer sciences Also known as home economics, a background in family and consumer sciences teach students everything you need to know about what makes a "home." You'll become an expert in such areas as child development, family relations, consumer economics, personal finance, fashion design, housing and nutrition, which means you'll have plenty of options when it comes to starting your career. That is so not what I excepted. Ahhh, I feel so misinformed, I should of researched all this information before posting a thread on here. No wonder everyone was so confused on why I was switching to that major. Thank you so much Dixielee and everyone else. I will have to sit down and talk to my family about all this. And let them know that if I don't get into clincials I will probably have to switch from a university to a community college. I just feel like 3 1/2 years of life have been wasted. I am so disappointed in myself.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone has been so helpful. And I realized I misunderstood the definition of a nurse case manager an a nurse case worker, for some reason I thought it was the same thing. I just really want a four year degree in something. I am the first person in my family to go to a university, and everyone is expecting me to graduate. My family has supported me financially for so long, it feels like I owe it to them and myself. If I don't get in to clinicals I have to change my major. I know it seems like I'm wasting time majoring in FACS and then going to a community college to be a nurse. But its the only major I could think of that I would enjoy majoring in. FACS also requires alot of nursing electives that I already taken, so I would finish faster than the other majors. I was going to major in respiratory therapy or radiology but I recently discovered with budget cuts, that those programs are no longer available. Hopefully, I will get into clincials and stop stressing over all of this :/

Yes I understand, I reread my post it does sound unclear towards the end. I left alot of details out lol. Okay right now I am in school under a scholarship and financial aid. My scholarship actually ends next semester. The nursing program at the university I am going to now is a 3 year program. I did all the math, and I have enough funds to go into the program, IF I get in next semester. If I don't get in, I would have to retake classes I made B's and C's in, and try again in the Fall. I'm not financially stable to keep trying to reapply. I was considering if I didn't get in, that I was going to drop out of university and go to a community college to become an LPN and work my way up to an RN. There's a lot of hospitals and programs in my area that allow LPNS to become RNs. But I have been in college for about 3 1/2 years, and I will feel like all those years in college will be wasted. So I was thinking about changing my major to FACS just so I can have a 4 year degree in something. If I major in FACS I can graduate in about 1.5 years. And then I was thinking about working as a social worker, and then start going to school as an LPN on the side and then working my way up as an RN. I know you need 2 to 4 years of clinical experience as an RN to be a case manager. But do you think I would have a better opportunity of being hired as a case manager with a bachelor degree in FACS under my belt and having an associates ins Nursing ? Or am I wasting my time, and should drop out and start working my way up as an RN now? That is more of the question I wanted to ask, sorry if anyone was confused. lol

Okay, when I first started college I was majoring in mircobiology, then I decided I wanted to be a Nurse. I was attending University of Louisiana at Lafayette and then switched to Nicholls state. The first time I applied to clinicals I didn't get in because one of my sociology classes that I had taken at UL didn't transfer. Even though my advisor said it would. I am applying again for Spring 2012, and I'm scared I won't get in. Even though after this semester I will have a 3.1 GPA and the requirement is a 2.75, its probably not enough. Most people that get in have 3.5 and higher. And usually NSU doesn't like to pick people who transfer from other schools, they prefer people who started in nursing at NSU. So if I don't get in I'm planning on switching my major to General Family and Consumer Sciences (Child, Family and Social Services). My biggest career goal is to become a Nurse Case Worker. Do you guys think this will be a good move? Will getting a bachelor degree in Family Consumer Science, and then later working on becoming an RN elsewhere, will actually be a better move? I was planning on going to a two year college and getting an Associates Degree in Nursing, but I have been in school for so long, I really want a 4 year degree from Nicholls State. Any nurses or nurse case workers, can give me some tips?
