How can I transfer into a BSc Nursing program while improving my study habits, strengthening my college application, gaining relevant experience, and increasing my chances of earning a nursing scholarship so I can become a registered nurse in the future?
I’m going to make sure the classes I’ve already taken transfer by checking what BSc Nursing programs require and filling in any missing prerequisites like anatomy or microbiology. I want to keep my GPA up and get more consistent with how I study, not just cramming but actually reviewing material regularly so I’m ready for how intense nursing school is. I also need to explain clearly why I’m moving into nursing and how what I’ve already done has led me here. I’ll ask professors who know me well to write recommendations so it doesn’t feel generic. I’m planning to get some real exposure to healthcare, like volunteering at a clinic or hospital, and getting CPR certified or something similar. If I can, I’ll look into entry-level roles too, so I’m not going in with zero experience. I’m going to apply to as many scholarships as I can that fit nursing or transfer students, and actually tailor my answers instead of reusing the same thing. I want everything to show that I’m serious about becoming a nurse and that I’ve thought through this path.

Does having a job in healthcare while going through nursing school lead to burnout?
For some context, I've been a certified EMT for 3 years and I'm in my first semester of nursing school now. I left my EMT job for what I'll call a "tangentially-healthcare- related" job recently to work with my new schedule for nursing school. But I feel like I really don't like this new job. I feel like I'm losing skills, I haven't had a patient contact in a couple months, and I feel like I don't do anything; on top of the stress of working full-time while going to school nearly full-time. Do you think looking at PCT jobs at a hospital or clinic in the meantime is a good idea? I don't want to burn out from school or my job, but I don't think what I'm doing right now is good. Thank you for your opinions!
