I need some advice!!!
Hi! My name is Kayleen. I am a senior in high school and I have had my heart set on nursing since a very young age. I have applied to liberal arts colleges and 4 year bsn schools. I get different advice from different people. Some say you should get a broad based background at a liberal arts college and then go into nursing that way if you ever change your mind you have the BS/BA behind you. Then, others say that if you know you want to be a nurse then you should go to the nursing school, get your bachelors in nursing there, then move on to get msn etc in just a year and be at the top in just 5 years. Any advice? Im looking to talk to both nurses who went both routes so any insiders opinion is greatly appreciated!! thanks!
Hi Kayleen! I went to a 4 year BSN school. I actually got all of my core done in two years and then started the nursing program. If you know nursing is what you want to do then I say go for it. Even if you don't care for being a floor nurse after you graduate there are endless possiblities for someone with a BSN. If you have any questions feel free to message me. I graduated in 2005 so the memory of school isn't too far away.
