My Second Pathway Essay

Improved Essays
My Second Pathway-Bachelor of Health Sciences at Western University The program that I’m interested in taking is the Bachelor of Health Science program at the University of Western Ontario because the program will provide an interdisciplinary perspective on health, a proximate location, and for the university’s accreditation. Firstly, I am excited to go into this program because it will be with professors from a plethora of different traditional academic areas such as Anatomy (of which will provide me with a solid background in biology to allow me to excel in the medical field), Nursing (of which will give me an insight into patient treatment), and Rehabilitation Sciences(of which will improve my understanding of human movement).

In another one of my classes, we learned about different health field careers in order to decide if nursing was right for us since it is such a competitive major at IUPUI.…

    I came to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh because I wanted to obtain a degree in nursing. While sitting through freshman orientation, I learned that my time here would focus not only on preparing me to be a nurse but also on providing me with a liberal arts education.
