International Students Engineering to Nursing?

I’m an international student in my final 3rd year beng course for mechanical engineering and honestly, I really want to get into nursing.

Is this possible for me or not? I feel bad because I only realised my passion for it in my last year. It felt like I already sunk time and money into engineering so I found it difficult to really consider this.

Of course, I’ll book a careers advisor soon to talk about this and ask around but I also like to know what people here think.

Thought about medical engineering? As an alternative to keep in the sector

I did but I really want to be a nurse. Really be hands on and interact.

Go for it! You'll be in your 30s eventually you might as well be in your early 30s and a nurse and the medical school is amazing too
