Want to audition for a musical?

[NatashaDW]

Hello, I'm sophomore nursing student and I was thinking about auditioning for the musical at my college. But do you guys think that it would be too much of a commitment if I tried? I haven't joined any clubs or did anything my first year and just focused on school,should I just continue the?

I must say that this is an original question!

It certainly can't hurt to audition. However, I did a lot of theatre in college many years ago (as a music major -- this was long before I ever thought of going into nursing). I don't know if you have any prior experience in theatre, but, during the rehearsals and run of the show, it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy. I'm sure there are plenty of enjoyable activities and groups on campus that wouldn't require that kind of commitment.

You'll never know if you do not try. That being said, because nursing school can be rigorous, I wouldn't throw caution to the wind. Since you are already a second-year nursing student, you are aware of the time and committment it takes to succeed and are also cognizant of how much time it takes for you to personally grasp a subject. Do it if you personally feel you can!
