@RNSRWE - That is what I originally thought, until I did more research. I did a lot of research last night, and was able to talk to 2 counselors today and I got a game plan set up. I ended up switching my major from business to General Studies. The nursing program at the community college was over 2 hours away because of traffic and I can't spend 4 hours a day in the car (especially because I don't have a license.) So, my counsellor and I decided that a Associates in General Studies (geared towards transfer to 4yr school) . This gives me a lot of flexibility to focus on the math and science classes. I now have a plan! Thanks for your response :) Sage

I understand what you mean, I should of left the whole "male" part of the opening post. I know that referring to be a male nurse would be unprofessional in the workplace, and in the work place I wouldn't actually refer my self by gender. I didn't mean anything by it.

Hey everyone thanks for the replies, I went to my college and we set up a game plan :) I am going to get general studies degree, to fulfill all the requirements to get into nursing school, I will then transfer. @HouTx - haha being male had nothing to do with the decision. I was just excited and felt somewhat unique haha xD.i know it was extra info that wasn't really needed lol. I know that it's the same no matter the gender xD lol

Hello! BACKGROUND: I have recently became interested in becoming a male nurse and want to enter a nursing program, but I have a little dilemma. I am currently a student at the local community college (studying Business Administration.) I am a little over half way through my Associates degree. I fell behind and I am in my third semester. At the end of this semester I will have 35 credits completed. My Community College offers Guaranteed admissions to the nursing school at the University of Virginia and George Washington University (if i get a 2 year degree in Nursing and pass NCLEX exam). I have taken no classes that are related to nursing or science. I am taking Biology 1 this semester. I am mainly taking general pre-requisites required for most degrees and business classes. It is also too late to add and switch to nursing classes for this semester. QUESTION: If you were in this situation, what would you do? 1.) Continue and finish my Associates Degree in business, and try to add a couple extra biology and other science classes. Then apply to a 4 year university then apply for their nursing school. 2.) Finish Associates degree in Business, then try to receive a Associates degree in Nursing, take NCLEX and use the Guaranteed Admission Agreement (RN to BS). 3.) Switch majors now, and only focus on Nursing, and forget Business degree? 4.) Any other options? I really appreciate any advice you can give me, Thanks, Sage
