So I am a first year geography student and I am not really satisfied with the course. I don't feel like I have enough work to do and am just bumming around until near a deadline (which are spaced really far apart). I find I am not enjoying it as much as I did at A level. I thought I'd go into environmental work afterwards but am not 'excited' to do so.
I find most people on the course quite boring and just not the people I'd be friends with.
I am however good friends with flatmates and am happy with who I'm living with next year.
I have always like the idea of me being in a medical profession. I like helping people and have always seen myself as being able to work in a hospital or general practice. Medical stuff interests me and the nursing profession seems as if it will be different every day and won't get boring which is appealing. I am not very squeamish either.
I would have to change unis and reapply as my current uni (which I'm not that satisfied with) doesn't offer nursing.
I realise you need work experience. My dad works in a hospital so I should be able to get some.
I am worried to say this to my parents as I feel they will be annoyed and discourage me.
I have seen that some places like Nottingham offer a masters course for 2 years for those who already have a degree in something else to start nursing.
Would I be better finishing the Geography degree then starting one of those courses, or dropping out and starting a new?
Also, my A levels were ACD I would prefer to go to better unis than my current one as I am not satisfied with it's standard. I realise a lot of better unis want BBB or ABC. As I am pretty much 1 grade off this do you think they'd still accept me? (I realise an interview is needed too)
