At the interview and in your essays, make sure you speak about your family problems (your mother's condition may also tie into why you want to pursue<a href="http://www.pharmacist-school.com/"> phramacy </a>which would further strengthen your application) and also explain your decision to switch from nursing to pharmacy. Be familiar with the type of careers available and what you are interested in for your interviews. By performing well on your interviews, I honestly think that you are an ideal candidate at every single<a href="http://www.pharmacist-school.com/"> phramacy </a>school. If you don't know about the SDN interview feedback section already, it lists real questions asked at interviews at all the<a href="http://www.pharmacist-school.com/"> phramacy </a>schools ( http://more.studentdoctor.net/schoollist… ) which will help you prepare for your interviews. PharmApplicants.com ( http://www.pharmapplicants.com ) is an applicant database for<a href="http://www.pharmacist-school.com/"> phramacy </a>school applicants , and you can create a profile or search the existing ones to see what it takes to get accepted to different<a href="http://www.pharmacist-school.com/"> phramacy </a>schools. Creating a profile and tracking your progress through 2010 can help future pre-pharm students :) good luck!!

If that's what you really want. I attend UFCOP a <a href="http://www.schoolsnursing.com/top-nursing-schools/">top</a> ten national school and got in with similar stats. It does mean a lot more time in school and there are lucrative nursing jobs you could have in 2 years of part time school, but I digress. You will definitely get interviews. Just have an answer ready for the following questions: "What originally made you pursue a nursing degree" "Why did you decide against practicing nursing" If you can navigate your way around those questions you should be fine.
