Question about majoring in nursing

[lindsmith88]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and I don't know if I'm posting in the right section. Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I'm currently finishing up my sophomore year in college and have changed majors twice already. I was a math major and now I'm currently a psychology major. Now I want to major in nursing. I've thought about this for a while now. But first, I have a few questions. If I'm going for a BSN, can I get a job after I get my degree? Also, is it like getting into medical school where you have to apply to get in, or can you just major in it like any other majors? I don't know much about this.

It is like medical school, you have to apply and be accepted. If you get a BSN you should be able to get a job if there are jobs to be had, just like any other degree. You need to check with your school on the deadline to apply, ours is the 3rd Saturday in January so you may have missed it for your school for this round. Also you need to check on the prerequisite classes required to apply, your college catalog should have a section for that. Hope this helps!
