Thanks so much for your input and your offer to help! I really do appreciate it. I am unable to PM yet (lameeee) but I just want to know what kind of stuff you are learning in your BSN/MSN program, how you like it so far. I'm not in the SD area anymore, but I am searching around for volunteer opportunities in my area.

No I didn't apply this cycle. I would apply next cycle. What made you change from pre-optometry to NP?

My name is Eileen, What's yours? At least I'll kind of know someone on Saturday then!

Awesome, a fellow Triton! My GPA is a 3.06. Thanks for the advice about working as a CNA or EMT of phlebotomist, I will look into them. I am also planning to visit Western this weekend to learn more about their MSN-Entry program.

How would I go about finding nurses to shadow? I have shadowed/volunteered for a pharmacist at an independent pharmacy. And right now, I just started working at a WalMart pharmacy as a pharmacy technician. I have not looked into PA school. Right now with the MSN, I would be interested in being a nurse practitioner.

Hi all, I'm new here! I just graduated in June 2012 with a B.S. in Human Biology & minor in Psychology from UC San Diego. I've been on the pharmacy school route: recently applied for pharmacy schools, currently taking anatomy & physiology at a community college, recently started working as a pharmacy technician. However, I've been having doubts about my future in pharmacy...Nursing is seeming more enticing to me than pharmacy & I feel that nursing would be more personally rewarding for me. I actually was interested in nursing when applying to colleges in high school (got into UC Irvine's nursing program but decided on UCSD & changed to pharmacy...sometimes I feel like kicking myself for not pursuing nursing in the first place). Anyways, I always knew about Accelerated BSN programs & recently discovered MSN programs...From what I understand, I can get more out of the MSN. Anyone with any advice about MSN programs for people with non-nursing BS? What should I do???
