Okay, I graduated high school in 2011 and I have always wanted to be a nurse. I went on and attended a community college in CA near home I am currently working on nursing pre-reqs as well as General Ed to transfer to a four year. This process is taking me a lot longer than I intended. I have to retake chemistry because at the time when I first took it I was taking a **** load of classes and working 36 hours a week. It was intense. I took a semester off spring semester of '13 after second guessing what I really wanted to do in life and took a CNA course. I am currently working as a CNA and it's not as bad as I thought it would be I work NOC. Shift and though it gets tough sometimes it works with my studying schedule. I have been doing BETTER in my classes. If all goes well next semester should be my last semester and I'm eligible to transfer to a four year. HOWEVER I still need to complete Microbiology and Physio. I no longer want to be at the community college I'm at now. Everyone in my hometown stays there forever and rarely ever makes it out!! I don't want to be one of those ppl!! So I don't know if I should transfer to a university and just take the left over pre-reqs I need for the university I'm planning to attend. I know staying at this JC will be cheaper but I'm tired of feeling like I'm going no where in life. I'm 21 and want to be done with school! I like reading posts on here where ppl understand the hard work and dedication this major has because my family and friends don't really understand. And I'm the first in my family to attend college. That's also why I'm aiming for a bachelors and I know in the long run it'll be more beneficial for me than an associates. Any input or tips are greatly appreciated! I'm even considering out of state universities!!
