I want to go into nursing but I got my degree in Psych what should I do?
Question by kkcusce: I need to go into nursing but I got my level in Psych what should I do?
I am close to graduating w/ my degree in psych and minor in sociology from ODU. I can only find one Virginia school (VCU) that has an accelerated rn/msn program, but I know that I won’t get into that incredibly competitive program. What are my options? Did I goof up too badly by getting my psych degree? I don’t really want to go to a vocational school of nursing I may rather go to a college. ANY suggestion would be greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU! đŸ™‚

Check the community colleges in your area. Maybe they offer an RN program.

Many community college offer a 2 year RN program. I’m going through a similar situation—I graduated last May with a B.A. in Liberal Studies and now am looking into nursing. Since my degree did not require many science classes, I have quite a few pre requisites to fulfill before I can apply. I’m not sure about the colleges in your area, but the ones in southern California are very competitive (200 applications for 44 spots for, example). If nursing is what you’d really love to do, then you’ll more the likely have to be patient.
