You are at a time that will have great impact on what you do later based on decisions made now.....whew, talk about wordy sentence?!
Your conselor is right though, you need to sit back and take a look at what interests you. Look through the trade journals, read everything you can about different occupations that might interest you. Even the college course curriculum handbooks can give you some good insight into requirements and course content. It's never easy to make that choice of subject, but to get started you need to be taking something that interests you, something you can be passionate about, etc.
Taking courses blindly really won't help you achieve any goals.
I switched majors a couple of times while at Auburn University, and ended up graduating and going into the Air Force as a pilot. I never did work in my graduated field of study, but the whole process helped me in my career anyway. I even got a masters degree, but still don't use it directly in my "retired" job. Still, the course of study helped me be a better worker in any job I do. I was interested in my courses which helped me do better, be more competitive, and made me feel better about my future.
I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but hope it gets you thinking. You have to have a reason for taking courses with it all leading to a goal. Seems like it's time to step back and orgainize your steps. I am sure what you are taking would allow you to work in a hospital, but only in limited roles, not moving up into supervisory positions. Basically, a worker bee. Nothing wrong with that, but it could be better if you had a goal of just using it to gain experience in the field while WORKING on a full degree in a similar field to allow you to move up, both in pay and managerial positions.
Give it some thought, serious thought to what you are trying to acheieve. It might take time, but it will be worth the effort later.
I didn't start thinking about being a military officer, it just fell into my lap. The opportunity WAS only due to my hard work with getting good grades, being committed, etc. That made me do better in my work, got better grades, made me more confident, then when I interviewed for a pilot position I was much more marketable. IT worked. I had a very good career flying for the military. Exciting work, saw lot's of new places, endured a lot of hardship, got shot at, wounded, worked with the best folks on earth.
It's all vision. Good luck to you, hope you can get things moving towards you future.
