Choosing between Nursing major and a school

If she really thinks she wants nursing SDSU. However, I work at a small school with a non-direct entry (although I’ve never seen a student who made the grade requirements not get in), and I would say about half the students who list nursing as a freshman area of interest don’t end up pursing the major. Obviously, some don’t make the grade (doubtful for your kid with that hs record), but others…realize that there are more ways to “help people,” that nursing is a science degree and they really don’t want to study science, that the profession itself is in no way glamorous, or (and I do NOT say this with ANY criticism at all) that they want to enjoy this time in their lives and live it up a little and not engage in the level of work the major or the job requires. Hey, twelve hour night shifts would never have been my gig.
