Hello, I'm a senior in high school right now. Earlier in the school year I was considering a degree in nursing but I wasn't quite sure. Both of my top choice colleges had a different application process for the nursing school so I decided to apply, since it would be easier to transfer out of than into. I got into the nursing school at my top choice college. By that time, I had decided nursing probably isn't for me, mostly because of the high burnout rates and staff shortages. This school has a good kinesiology program, and I decided a degree in kinesiology would be a better choice, then I would get a master's degree in occupational therapy. When I went to school's acceptance office to switch my major, the acceptance officer informed me about how competitive the nursing program was this year (almost 900 applicants for 90 spots) and it made me rethink a bit. I don't want to make the wrong choice and transfer out of a program that I worked so hard to get into, but I'm also not sure if I'm passionate enough about nursing to do it as a career long-term. I would really appreciate some outside input on this topic. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
