Nursing School Options?
Question by Blake A: Nursing college Options?
Hey everyone, thanks for checking this out.
I have a actual dilemma on my hands. My life dream is to become a army nurse, I truly feel called to do it. By the end of this 12 months (at around May), I have to make my determination about the ROTC scholarship and whether I want to join the military or not. A big bonus to the military is the paid tuition, due to the fact that my family cannot pay for college. My decisions are, Get into Oakland University’s or university of Detroit’s BSN of nursing software freshman year, go to Michigan State or University of Michigan, do my pre-reqs there, then try to get into their nursing program. If I get into Oakland, I do not need to do the ROTC.
I hear getting into BSN programs your freshman yr is truly tough, but do you suppose I stand a chance? right here are my stats.
3.9 GPA with honors and AP classes, 1st chair trumpet participant in all top bands at my school, All-District player each and every year, top rankings in Solo & Ensemble, Marching Band section leader, loads of volunteer hours, Student Council rep, interact (community service) member, Varsity Cross-Country, Soccer, and Track, observe team captain. **Do you think it is possible for me to get in a nursing program freshman year, or should I simply go be a physician?
Basically, I’m afraid to do nursing as a result of if I don’t get all A’s and get into a nursing program I’m scared of being left with a needless degree. Will it be useless? Then I think approximately being a doctor because I realize you don’t want to get all A’s, but then you go to school for 10 years. There are so many pro’s and cons, and I don’t know what to do. I can choose ROTC and pray I get into a good nursing school, or just go be a doctor.
What are your opinions? Sorry about the rambling.
Also, I don’t mind studying for long amounts of time. I’m additionally very very outgoing and friendly. I’m a nice people person.
**Do you think I’d get into nursing schools easier if admissions saw I was going into the Navy or Army for nursing or medicine?

It sounds like you are a very driven, goal-oriented person. I was in band, too (and played trumpet), so I know how challenging it can be.
You really need to talk to your guidance counselor and if imaginable go to the colleges you are considering for a visit. There are a lot of choices open to you and the ROTC sounds like a great way to accomplish your goals.
