If I do not get admitted into my desired program I will either enroll in the Concurrent program or apply to other nursing programs. The two schools I would apply to are Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia and George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, which are both located 10 minutes from my hometown. I chose this plan because I am determined to become a nurse or work in the medical field. I have had a lot of involvement with health professionals growing up due to my ongoing health issues and got to experience first-hand how important care professionals are.
