My name is Bryan, I am an EMT for an ambulance service in Indianapolis. I just received my acceptance letter for nursing school yesterday!
I decided to become a nurse after changing my major twice. I initially wanted to go to nursing school right out of high school, but I didn't have the confidence in myself (I was told there was a two year wait list and that it was nearly impossible to get in). I decided to study computers (which I had studied in high school). After realizing the job market was flooded and that I didn't really enjoy computers as a career as much as a hobby, I decided to go to aircraft maintenance school. I saw that I didn't fit into the mechanic crowd early on and went back to computers. One day in a computer class, I took a look around the room and realized it was full of a bunch of nerds and decided to get the hell out of there. I dropped all of my classes for the spring semester and enrolled in anatomy and physiology (with only one spot left) and lifespan development. that summer, i quit my crummy job at UPS that made me depressed and went to a two week EMT boot camp. It's been nearly a year and I have been working as an EMT and finishing my prerequisites. Here I am, super stoked about being accepted into nursing school, wishing I would have done it earlier.
