I don't have a passion for anything (anymore)...need advice .Rating: (votes: 0) I'm sorry to hear that you lost your passion... It's tough! I remember being a pre-nursing student and my school basically crushed my soul when it came to nursing. I no longer desired to become a nurse and was ill advised with what I should have done with college career. That's when I got an even worse soul-crushing job as a dorm security guard. It was after a tough incident that I realized that I wanted to become a nurse again! What I would suggest is to go to an advisor from the school you attended or even to a different school and see what they tell you! After a few years of negativity, I found that talking a group of different people was refreshing and helped me become motivated again. In fact, I was being interviewed for a job at a local community college when they told me about scholarships and their nursing program. Though I'm not really sure if I'm being helpful or not, I'd still suggest talking to another school about their program. Just because you got rejected a few times doesn't mean you have to give up all hope. My mom always says that thoughts are like bullets, and I say aim those bullets at what you want. The worst they can do is say no, so just keep trying! Keep talking, get more resources and if it takes you to retake some classes, so what? See if a local community college is offering them and retake the classes (it's a cheap and doable alternative) Options are unlimited when it comes to ways to get into the nursing program or any other health related field. Just look for some resources online (like using Google to find health field career options). Just keep trying and stay positive ^.^ I hope this was helpful and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors Comment:
How long have they been looking at GPA's for admission? 3.55 isn't good enough?!?! I'm guessing this is because of the current job market, IMHO. Anyway, Back2, follow your heart. You can always change your mind, school, major, career choice. An ADN gets you a RN license which you could use as a reliable income and stepping stone to another career. A dear friend of mind used her RN license to get her through law school. Take some time to look at all the many options you have, follow your heart, and have a long happy life wherever life decides to take you.

Geesh! 3.55 GPA. Wish I had that just once! Maybe 2 semesters added together.

Like, I'm sitting here, and I can't believe I'm giving advice to someone with a 3.55 GPA! I should be getting advice from you!

I would suggest taking a career assessment test. You should be able to do this through your school. There are many different types but most provide a window to areas that you would most likely have an interest in.Don't feel bad. . .I had a 3.82 gpa and didn't get in TWICE (and nursing was my second bachelors degree from the same college)!! This was over six years ago! If you really want to be a nurse, keep trying. If you are undecided, look into taking a career test.Good luck!

There are many other options in the Health care field besides nursing. Google "Health Care Careers" and you'll find many! Don't do nursing if you're not interested in it, it will only eat your soul. lol I've meet a few nurses who hate their careers and they're miserable and they seem to age faster.
