Hey everyone...
New to this whole thing and would love some feedback. Some background...
-Planned to go Pre-Med in high school but chickened out at last minute
-Graduated in '13 with a Bachelors in Spanish instead (3.5 GPA)
-Traveled around a lot, have struggled to get a good job since
-Decided to finally go back to school, got into Accelerated BSN program
The program doesn't start until next spring and I'm working on some pre-reqs now. Nursing excites me and I love the idea of being very hands on with my patients. I'm particularly interested in working a surgery setting. When I decided to go back to school I figured I don't have much time to mess around since I'm almost 28 so I thought an accelerated nursing program would be smart. I haven't even started anatomy yet but I literally get sucked into reading materials, watching dissection videos, surgery videos, etc every night while I'm trying to study basic Biology. The more I think about it, the more I still wish I had just decided to do a Post-Bac program and head to Med School. I'm wondering if it's too late to go this route or if it makes any sense in my current situation? I haven't started the BSN yet so it seems almost silly to jump ship already. But I get this insane feeling of excitement and passion when I think about really diving deep and going to med school. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
