Is it stupid to move schools?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently in a bit of a dilemma. I took a leave of absence from nursing school due to a medical issue and was planning to return this summer. Unfortunately, I’ve been placed on a waitlist due to limited spots and now have to wait until September.
I’m considering transferring to a different nursing school and starting over. So far, I’ve completed 2 out of 9 terms.
Here are my reasons for wanting to switch:
- It offers more breaks between terms, and the program is more fast-paced, which I prefer since it allows time to rest and reset between terms
- Specialty courses are included in the BSN program, so I wouldn’t need additional certifications to work in areas like the ER or ICU after graduation
However, switching would also mean:
- Restarting the program from the beginning
- Waiting until next January to begin
Given all of this, would it be a bad idea to move to a different nursing school at this point🥺
