What should be expected when majoring in nursing in college?


I am going to college this year. I am still indecisive of my major, but i know i like to work in the medical field. What is to expect of such majors like medical lab technician or nursing? Is the study course difficult? Is it tense? Thanks for answering.

It is very difficult, but rewarding! Nursing majors at my school can't fail more than 4 courses, otherwise they are "kicked" out of their major. Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) teaches you to become an MT (Medical Technologist) and it's just as hard, if not harder. My roommate switched from Med Lab to Biology because it was so hard. You have to take insane classes like pathophysiology (don't ask me what it is!) and immunohistology. Both majors require you keep a certain GPA to stay in the major.
If your heart is set on a medical career, don't get dicouraged by the difficulty it presents. I'm a bio major and it's hard, but I know I'll have a good job in the end, so it's SO worth it. Good luck!!

A nursing program is very fast paced. Just imagine... what used to be a 5 year program (i think) is now a 2 year program.
Don't overestimate your ability to deal with goriness.
But just remember that you able to do anything you truely want.
If you want it, it can happen.
