So what's the consensus...
Is a BSN an "okay" or appropriate major for a waffling pre-med?
I'm the mom of two and can't get any assistance to get back into school full-time (quit my job) unless I choose some sort of allied health/tech field... the only one of which there is a BS offered in around here is a BSN.
I know it'd make for some extra courses, but I was thinking of doing a BSN and my pre-reqs at once... that way if there's some lag time between when I apply and when I finish my BS, I'll actually have a field I can work in and make a decent wage to support my family (as opposed to a research assistant, who around here make diddly-squat).
I've always heard poor things about how adcomms look at nurses applying to med, so I just wanted to field some opinions on the subject...
Thanks
