Any Advice Appreciated

Hello Everyone! I'm 20 and live in Arizona. I am a student and recently switched my major, to pursue my heart and dream - I want to be an RN! I am looking for any advice from any of those who have been there before me. Do you wish you would have taken any additional classes, would have done anything differently, any advice? Anything would be really appreciated - I admire what all of you have chosen to do with your lives so much. I am currently just taking my prereqs. but I am very determined and am taking 28 credit hours and maintaining a 4.0 as well as volunteering at my local hospital.

Yes, most people say i'm crazy, but i just love school and like to challenge myself. I had to get an academic override to do it. (which, if anyone is interested in, is NOT easy.)

Take a paid position. You'll get a true initiation to the world of the hospital.

Bravo and congrats on your decision, and the 28 credits per semester. I agree with the above post however... take a paid position! Students need the money!

(Though I do applaud you for volunteering.)
