Hi, i am also new to this site, just found it today. I am a nursing major and i am also in my first semester of college. I am very excited about my nursing career, luckily my parents didnt push me into anything else. I did the first 36 hours of my CNA traing this august and I plan on getting the next 75 hours on December. Im lucky because my college doesnt require you to actually be certified, just take the course. I have applied for a job at a local hospital that is also where i am a Scholar, and they are paying for me to go to school and i will pay them back while working for them. Other then that, im in the same boat. I am excited to get out of my general education courses and actually get into nursing. You should definitly check into nursing, there are so many opportunities
