Charity work: Nursing vs Biology

<p>I am a freshman at Gonzaga this year, and I am in the exact same boat you are. I actually have a post (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/901515-where-transfer-fall-2010-a.html#post1064543483[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/901515-where-transfer-fall-2010-a.html#post1064543483&lt;/a&gt;) asking advice for where to transfer (for reasons other than academics, though the biology and chemistry departments at Gonzaga have frustrated me a bit). Right now, if I end up stuck at Gonzaga, I will be staying 5 years and getting a nursing degree, international relations minor, and fulfill the pre-med requirements as well, just in case. However, I am looking into PA, I heard that might be an option. Just to let you know, at Gonzaga, you have to apply for the nursing school at the end of your sophomore year, and it is really competitive to get in (only about 1/2 applicants are accepted). Keep an update on what you find out and what you are thinking, because I am curious to know. You are the first student I have heard of who is thinking the same thing as me with international health. Just to let you know, my nursing advisor does think this is a great idea, but I am meeting with pre-med and international studies advisors also to see whether it is actually doable or even worth it for just an undergrad degree</p>
