By "bio concentrated" I assumed that your strong suit is the biologic sciences. Is that not accurate?

Yes, I have good grades in them too. I applied to Physical therapy assistant school and nursing school and didnt get in. Im basically looking for plan B. Plus i already have 60 credit in an associate degree and getting a bachelors makes sense.

It only makes sense if it will provide you with a career, otherwise you are wasting lots of money which you won't appreciate when you have to pay it back!!

I agree with you 100%. I was just wondering if there were any allied health careers on the bachelor level. Resp therapy, Dental Hygiene, etc are all associate degree level careers. I am looking for one in a bachelor level. I feel thats a better option for someone like me who already has an associate degree.

This degree will transfer alot of my bio courses.However, only thing i can do with this is go for my Masters in a specified field. Not quite what i was looking for but Thanks

Specializes in mental health / psychiatic nursing.

Ohio State University offers a BS in Health Sciences. Not sure what the degree prepares one for other than graduate school in a health profession. If you are interested in the administrative side of health care (HUC, PSA, administrative assistant) there is a BS in healthcare administration offered by many schools. (However you can also get many of these jobs with out a specialized degree).

I think dieticians still train at the bachelor's degree. Though they may be moving towards masters level training. I'm not sure.

Is there are reason you are opposed to allied health careers with associate's level preparation? I can think of several at this level (e.g. sonographer, radiology tech, RT, prosthetic/orthotic manufacturer, dental hygienist) which can be quite lucrative and may provide the necessary finances to then return to school for RN if that is your eventual goal.

Wow all of those careers are on associate degree level.Are there any allied health related careers on the bachelor level that is just as lucrative? I have applied to these associate degree programs and finally got a shot in nursing school. I failed my fundamentals with a D and got put back on the waiting list. long story short i wasnt prepared for nursing school and got demolished. My chances of getting a second chance look slim. I already have an associate degree in gen education and was looking to further my education pass the associate degree level while i wait on my nursing school decision. These allied health careers are too competitive to even get in to, passing is a different story. I rather accomplish something tangible that i know i can accomplish.I now see why people go private. They dont have to deal with all this limited admissions crap

All that "limited admissions crap" serves to weed out those applicants who have no chance of passing their licensure exam. Even with those limitations, a high percentage of any first year nursing class will not make it. If by private you mean for-profit, you are correct in that they will take anyone's money, whether they have a chance at success or not.

No, there are bachelor science respiratory therapy programs out there, a little harder to find, but exist
