I'm a 3rd year student in Orange Coast Community college with GPA of 3.0 (not so great). My first major was biology but the thought of 8-10 years of school and stay in one place while working some what discouraged me. I want to change to Nursing career because of the money (not gona lie), many varieties of nursing careers (thinking of informatic nursing). I like helping people and all but I heard nurses really get looked down on by others even the patients is this true? I don't mind wiping butts or anything like that if it pays well and the job is good. I really want to know how HARD is the classes for nursing career. When i search around, it seems like many people are regretting about this career. Which is harder nursing career or pharmacy. Should I just continue with biology major or change to this knowing that it is practically next to impossible to get in a good nursing school especially with my GPA. What should I do? I'm so stressing out right now I feel like my balls are getting kicked every minute. I already asked like 4 counselors in the past 2 months and I dont feel like they helped me out at all. They all just wanted to get the appointment end early......atleast this is how i feel. Is this because I'm a guy and they're viewing me differently??:angryfireoh forgot to add, I checked out Golden west College nursing center and found out that it gona be like 6-7 years to get my nursing associate.... is this long?? or nah (2 years to take extra bio classes to apply, 2-3 years waitlist, and 2 years time to get the degree.

If it's 6 years to an associate's degree, why not go to a 4 year BSN program? Or continue with biology for only a few more years past the time to get an ADN?

Well, you can't know if you'll get in to a BSN nursing program if you don't try. IME, it's community colleges that are harder to get in to because of the wait lists and because they are so affordable.
