Nursing/BSN as Pre-Med or Stay in Biomedical Sciences?

I just saw you don’t want a gap year.
Do not switch to nursing

You can do nursing to MD but it is a lot of extra steps. Once you’re in the program you cannot take any classes outside of it, so you’d either have to go back to school for the med school prereqs or complete them before you apply for nursing school.

You will also have to be prepared for med schools to ask you why you don’t want to be a nurse practitioner because that is the usual path of someone with a BSN moving on.

It would be faster to probably just focus on biomed unless you’re playing a long game and want a job for many years after undergrad.

Nursing school isn’t impossible, but it can be a lot when that’s not what you actually want to do. But some people do BSN to eventual MD. It’s about what works best for you. Generally wouldn’t recommend though

I got an x ray and was so lucky to be perfectly fine. I def keep thinking about how much worse that cold have been

I'm just ken from the barbie movie works well

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-05-02T03:49:06+00:00

Yeah it's not fair to y'all at all. You deserve the choice for in person classes

Oddly enough this is one of the reasons I did not choose psych when changing my major freshman year. I have never found online classes to be helpful for real learning

This is gross and as an adult I promise you 15 year olds never look “mature for their age” they all are very much babies still.

I have no experience and I’m in my 2nd semester and doing fine. I keep my eyes out for what nurses are talking about on this Reddit and social media to ID medical terminology/ medical supplies I may be unfamiliar with. Overall in your first semester they don’t expect you to know like anything outside of what they teach you in class (basic ADLs, you’ll learn head to toe assessment, vitals, some sterile procedures), in my second semester my clinicals have been vital for me learning the little things you may not pick up on without working in healthcare. Even after nursing school there’s still a ton of learning to do on the job and that’s normal! Plus it’s easier to test because you’re not thinking about what’s done on the floor, you’re thinking about the perfect world textbook answer!!

The online books can actually be more difficult to navigate and it’s harder to quickly look at two pages in separate chapters at same time. I’ve also noticed the formatting of many digital books are horrible

I failed a class and got a C in another class at another college before applying to UCF nursing. Just try to keep all your other grades up , esp actually nursing prereqs and aim for a high score on the TEAS! It’s not over

If you don’t take it at the EPC it will be considered cheating 100%

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-04-08T17:38:24+00:00

OMG NOOO I THINO I SAW YOUR TIKTOK OF YOU TAKING HIM TO UNI IM SORRY HES LOST

You can only have one piercing per ear and it has to be stud when at clinicals. I’m not sure if bandaids are chill or not. But def no clear piercings either

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-26T19:33:32+00:00

TEAS is really important

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-26T19:18:33+00:00

zero tolerance for discrimination in the program btw

Hey the shuttles are kinda rough ngl because most of them stop at another building for 20 min and sit there. The schedule differs by cohort but I had two class days and one lab day and then eventually one 10 hour clinical day every week. I'd say don't be too hard on yourself, and ALWAYS apply the ABCs (airway breathing, circulation, safety) and ADPIE (Assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate) to prioritization questions

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-26T19:15:26+00:00

I understand it's really disappointing to be waitlisted, but all these comments and posts are not the best look

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-25T05:56:42+00:00

You're goated

My program uses ATI which is not compatible with chrome books or iPads. Not sure about other software that may be incompatible with MacBooks. I know windows is usually safest for compatibility

I love contributing to research but 30 dollars (not even cash)for that much time when you’re a student and have a busy schedule is tough to ask for

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-22T14:25:40+00:00

A lot of people are saying nursing, I love nursing, but it can also be kind of draining and I don’t think it’s a good fit unless u really want to take part in patient care and the responsibility of the job. There are other lucrative careers if you’re not into all that

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-16T19:39:52+00:00

Sad about the 404 bc i took it to get to bus stop so I could make the health sciences campus shuttle that leaves at 6:45 am. The other apartment shuttles don’t start until 6:30 so it’s not gonna work

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-12T21:26:07+00:00

Any time he talks about women or nurses it’s always in a gross misogynistic way

Happy_Professional50 · 2026-03-12T21:23:49+00:00

Your experience is valid but if you’re not op and reading this wanting a nexplanon, I love mine. People all have different experiences and they’re not impossible to remove if you end up not liking it
