Could use some emotional support

I’m so sorry!! Admittance to nursing school is BRUTAL and some people think nursing is “the easy route,” when it absolutely is not. The prereqs are also super tough because you have to take more of your sciences prior to entering nursing school which is so difficult and costly. But hang in there!! I cannot stress this enough! I’m not sure what state you’re in so not sure what the requirements are for this, but you could look into working as an MA for a year or so while you wait to apply, and that way you’ll have a ton of clinical hours and experience but will make more money than a CNA.

However, you should also decide whether you want to be a nurse or a doctor. Do you want to be a provider? You can do this via the nursing route by getting your Master’s and becoming an NP. But if you truly want to go to med school, then go for it. But think very hard about whether or not you want to do both nursing school AND med school because that sounds so rough. Hang in there ❤️ you’re so young, and you e got plenty of time to decide what you want to do!
