I am currently a sophomore nursing student studying to recieve my BSN. I have recently started my first clinical course. Within this course we have been learning things such as giving bed baths, creating a sterile field, sterile dressing changes, catheterization, etc. With this I have formed many doubts about my future in nursing. I wanted to go into nursing because I wanted to help people in the medical field and I loved the patient-nurse bond that a doctor would not be able to create. However, I feel as though all of the knowledge and work I have put into my degree thus far is irrelevant when all i'm learning about is how to bathe people and clean up after them. I am interested in the technical and scientific aspect of nursing more than what I am learning now, but can I expect to encounter that without an advanced degree (ex. NP) ? Is it normal to feel this way? Should I consider changing my major?
