Seminole State vs. Stetson University

[jleigh812]

Hello!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - I would love any comments, facts, opinions, on what course of educational plan I should take.

I currently hold a bachelors of science in psychology from UCF.

I can either apply for the ADN program at Seminole State OR go to graduate school for Clincial Mental Health Counseling at Stetson University. (Which I've already been accepted.)

Here are my concerns for each:

Seminole State

it's only the ADN program, not the BSN because my overall GPA from my 1st bachelors isn't high enough.

Stetson

it costs like 50,000 for tuition (private school) that's a lot of debt!

I know i want to be in the medical field helping other people, I just can't decide which avenue to go down.

PLEASE HELP???

No one can answer that question for you. Counseling and nursing are completely different career paths and each will have its pros and cons. I would suggest researching the fields, shadowing practitioners, and making your decision based on your personal strengths as well as what you want out of a career. Good luck to you.
