<p>It’s unfortunate and a little odd that your school doesn’t offer clinicals beginning freshman year. Wait until you start getting hospital experience before you decide whether nursing is truly for you.</p>
<p>It’s not odd at all. At least half the nursing programs in the country don’t start nursing til the junior year and all that is taken before are just prerequisites. Starting clinicals as a sophomore is lucky.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore pre-vet student, and at my school, since it’s a small private college, probably about half the professors here aren’t fit to teach, or just don’t know how to–including all three chem professors. Organic Chem and A&P are possibly the two classes i’ve hated most since coming here, but just because I don’t like them, and the profs can’t teach AT ALL (my A&P prof actually told us every question on every test or quiz was meant to trip us up, and some have multiple answers, so if you get one but not another, it’s wrong), doesn’t mean I’m going to stop going for pre-vet. </p>
<p>if you decide you don’t want to go into nursing because you legitimately have no interest in the profession anymore, then switch your major. If you just don’t want to go into nursing because of this one class, it’s a stupid reason to throw away what you, up until now, always wanted to do. Work through the A&P, get a tutor if you need to, but figure out whether you just don’t like nursing because of A&P or because you have no interest. And if you expected nursing to be easy, you were way off. My school’s known for both nursing and pre-vet, and students in both majors are tested like crazy all the time–it’s stressful, but going into any medical profession is supposed to be. If it’s the volume of work that intimidates you, maybe you’re just not cut out for a medical profession.</p>
<p>Why is your mother trying to manipulate your college classes? Grow up and pass your Anatomy and Physiology class.</p>
<p>I’m withdrawing from A&P I and retaking it next semester. There’s no way I’ll pass this semester, so there’s no point in staying in.</p>
