Yesterday, as me and a group from my pre-medical chapter of AMSA were returning to our school from MSU-CHM, I was talking with one of the freshmen who is a nursing major. I thought about telling her this is probably not a good idea to major in nursing in college and then apply to medical school since there is currently a nursing shortage in the U.S., and that being an RN is going to raise some serious red flags to admissions committees (taking up a spot and using for only one year after she graduates). I decided not to tell her this because I'm really not sure if this is really true. She is also taking "Chemistry for Health Professionals" instead of the pre-med version "General Chemistry I." I told her that while I wasn't sure, she might have to take "Gen. Chem I and II" instead of the health professionals courses. So I guess my questions would be, should I tell her to get out of the nursing major and to take the usual pre-med version of general chem?
Thanks in advance!
