I'm 23 years of age. I have been going to a 4 year college and applied to the nursing program with no luck. I maintain 3.5 GPA, and work at the hospital as a PCA, and decided to transfer to another school to see if I had better chance but they did not accept some courses from previous school so it was basically like starting from scratch.
My parents keep pressuring me to go get into nursing school, because once I graduate, I will have decent income. They tell me to go from there and then apply to an NP or PA program.
BUT with no success with nursing schools, I think I should just graduate with degree in biology and then do the accelerated nursing program or do NP or PA
BUT the problem would be I would not have a decent job from getting a degree in biology, as I would have to continue if I want decent income, versus undergrad in nursing, I would graduate and have a job with decent income.
I'd like to do the accerlated program, but my folks keep pressuring me because of money to get into a nursing program. I'm not sure if undergrad in nursing is the best decision for me because of all I've tried to do, regrading getting into a program, limited on schools due to finances etc.
What is the best decision if I want to go to an NP or PA school?
