Hi everyone,

I’m a current freshman in my second semester of college at my state university. As my second semester is reaching the half way point, I’ve been thinking a lot about my major and what my plan is to pursue it. I’ve known that I wanted to be a Nursing major since junior year of high school, but as I did not get into the very competitive Nursing program at my state school, I’d figure I would do my first year as an undecided major and then transfer into the program my sophomore year of college. Last semester was very tough, and the transition to college was overbearing, and I did not do as well as I hoped or expected. I’m seriously considering transferring to my local community college to start taking classes for my RN degree. Now with community colleges, there is a notorious wait list to get into the program, but as I already started most of my prerequisites for the Nursing program, I’m ahead of the game a little. I also plan to take a summer course at this CC to further help me. I’m spending a ton of money at my state college, where the classes are extremely big, and I’m finding it hard to learn. I’m having a lot of mixed emotions about whether I will receive entry into this Nursing program at the university, and I need advice on whether I should possibly transfer to CC to receive my RN and then continue to receive my BSN. It would save me a lot of money, and I would have the option to live at home instead of a dorm room (which I’m not very fond of). Any advice would help a lot! Thanks.
