<p>Well, what is it that you hate about your current classes? Is it chemistry in particular? You mention really liking anatomy/physiology; so are there just particular sciences you enjoy more?
I was a nursing major myself, got accepted into and began a BSN program, and one reason I left was because in the actual program the science was stripped out or ignored (my pharmacology professor mentioned one sentence involving chemistry, prefacing it so as to not scare all the ‘chemophobes’; anatomy wasn’t expected to be remembered, etc.); much of the content we were lectured on in the first term seemed rather subjective; and in my opinion, there was little opportunity to actually help people- I saw this not just as a beginning nursing student, but realized I would be very limited with the career.</p>
<p>Yes, you get to help people in one sense. But it really is the doctors and scientists who are figuring out the deeper problems; and I wasn’t happy with any less. Some people want less responsibility or more practical/task driven goals, and that’s fine. But for those who want something different, they will not be happy with this.</p>
<p>I’ve left the program and am pursuing a science major. I am so glad I did. I tell my pre-nursing friends and others considering nursing vs pre-med that if you love science, you need to go the medical route. This has been my experience though.
The first year or two of med school is mostly a core of science courses, and a science major would best prepare one for that.</p>
