Thanks! I live in Illinois btw, looking at schools in the midwest in general. Also, I know some careers it kind of matters the school you go to, but is it that way in nursing? Cheap schools are higher on my list than more selective ones.

Hello! I am currently a senior in high school and while I have always wanted to be in the health care profession, I am only recently considering nursing. Previously I thought I would go pre-vet or pre-med, but veterinary medicine is a horrid financial decision and I don't think I want to go through so much schooling to be a doctor (or debt- and I like how nursing is more about treating the whole person opposed to just the illness). Anyways, I am taking CNA this year, but I'm going to have to declare my major when applying to colleges before I'm really along in the class, and from my knowledge you can't switch into nursing like switching majors normally (I was originally going to major in biology). So, should I try to gain admittance into nursing programs when applying now and if after CNA I decide it isn't for me switch back into biology? Or just go into biology like I normally planned and do an accelerated nursing program after I graduate should I decide I do indeed like it? Just not quite sure what direction I should take (totally open to other solutions/advice as well).
