I've still got quite a ways to go in my nursing education... in fact, I'm still a senior in high school! However, I do have a bit of a dilemma- I want to be a Nurse Practitioner, but my dream college (a school where attendance has been a family tradition for generations) doesn't have a nursing program. At best, they have a pre-health professions program. I'm in the process of applying to colleges, and I just don't know what to do. Is the option of going into a direct-entry MSN after undergrad plausible? Or should I just let it go and only apply to schools that offer a BSN, even if I wouldn't be as interested in the school itself? Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated!
