Hello!
I've seen similar questions for med school but not for vet school. Anyhow, I'm a senior in high school, and I really want to become a veterinarian. However, the (apparently) bad vet job market, among other things, is making me want to get a Bachelor in Nursing with pre-vet prerequisites. My parents are a bit biased towards this question (counselors at my school aren't exactly...helpful either, haha), so I was hoping I could get a few questions answered. First of all, I know med schools look down on nursing majors (apparently), is this a possibility with veterinary schools? Secondly, would this be a good decision? I know that's a rather vague question, but I've heard that nursing school is incredibly time and energy intensive. I'm a good student in school (4.0 GPA and taking only college level courses), but I'm worried that it will be difficult to maintain good grades with the nursing program and be able to complete pre-vet prerequisites, both with classes and the other prerequisites veterinary schools require.
Thank you very much for any help!
