I'll be applying next spring, and hopefully starting the following summer semester. If not, I'll reapply and start in the fall. Right now I am taking A&P 1 and psych. This fall I am taking micro, statistics, American lit 1, a computer science class, and anthropology. In the spring I will take A&P 2, nutrition, American lit 2, and medical ethics. If I can somehow get my GPA up (my university is very competitive) hopefully I will be accepted!

Hey guys, I am an upcoming sophomore at my university and will be applying for nursing school next spring, then hopefully starting in the summer. I've been a member of this site for a short while and have gone through many threads reading about advice, people's stories, etc. Most of the topics I have read have involved females, and to be honest, I get discouraged. No offense to them, but does the fact that they tend to be more dramatic exaggerate things quite a bit? I mean, is it really that bad? I know that I cannot let what others say keep me from pursuing what I think is right for me, but sometimes I just don't know. I am a cool-headed guy, usually don't stress out too much, and have a good work ethic. I applied to college as a pre-med considering becoming a PA but then changed to nursing right before orientation last summer. I just did not want to major in something like chemistry or biology and then regret it. I asked a friend who is now in med school for advice and he said that nursing had the most options. I've always had an interest in the medical field. Since I was 14 I've considered pharmacy, dentistry, athletic training, etc. I hope to go into advanced practice nursing, but am confused by the whole masters/doctorate thing. I just want to have a good career to make a difference, as well as support my future family. Sorry for the long post, but this is a difficult time for me as I am making my career decisions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Started A&P 1 Wednesday. Came home and made a Quizlet account so that I can make flashcards.
