Decisions decisions - Page 2

Maybe you should take a few years off to decide what you want to do? I wish that I had done that before I got my JD. I realized, way too late, that I should have pursued a degree in nursing, like i wanted to do my first year in college. You can take the time off, and start saving money and pay for school that way, it;s better than loans, take it from someone who owes Uncle Sam over 100k.

I agree that it doesn't seem so bad in Louisiana. Many of my classmates have jobs lined up already. And I know many ASN nurses that have also easily gotten jobs.

A lot of ADN graduates are landing jobs just as easily as BSN grads are here in Louisiana. I know quite a few ADN grads who had jobs lined up in hospitals before they even passed their NCLEX. So BSN is a priority in some area's, but at the moment down here, the degree really doesn't make a huge difference at all. ADN or BSN both are able to get jobs fairly quickly and easily.

RT jobs are in demand depending on what state you checking, it varies. If your long term goal is to definitely be a PA , you do not have to be an RN first. You can get a bachelor in health sciences or pre-med to meet a BAS requirement, since you already did many of these courses your classes should transfer to that major and take a short vocational course that can get you the health care experience such as PCT or EMT both of these are not expensive and probably a good place to start off your experience in the medical field.It seems like you need some career guidance talk to someone at yr college. I myself was indecisive about PA or nursing in the end I decided nursing was better because I eventually want to be a nurse practitioner and as an NP I can work under my own license.
