Hi, ServantofGod...Love the username...Advice????? Heavy on math/sciences... Be sure you want to do this...I have been over 25 years in various disciplines of the medical field and have never been sorry I chose this path(or it chose me). It is very rewarding and at the same time very challenging. I LOVE IT!!! The best advice I can probably give is....Hang in there and stay tough.

great career choice! my daughter is 17 and thinks nursing is "gross"

Her high school has a CNA program. They are certified as a CNA and able to earn college credit towards a nursing degree. Becoming a CNA is a great way to figure out if you are "cut out" for the job

:) best of wishes to you!

My suggestion to you is, run the other way! Pick another career.
