| Some More Schooling 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! |

In fact, BSN will be your major and you could do a minor non-related to nursing. Later, you could expand the minor to a major if you wanted your career to head a different direction from nursing. I'm sure you will find others with BSN & non-related BA/BS, too. I know many in nursing that it is there second, or third career. ... my 2 cents |

| Re: Some More Schooling Advice kayleen, i'm 25 and have a BA in Spanish and environmental studies from a public 4 year liberal arts college in NY state. i decided on these majors because i was unsure of what career path i would like to pursue. i am now set on nursing and wish i had received a bsn instead as i now have to return to school for at least two years. you are lucky you know what career you would like to head into and i agree that you should go for your BSN. find a BSN program that will allow you space to have a minor in any subject you find interesting. most will. mike |
