I'm just curious:)
I kinda always knew I wanted to do something medical. When I was little I wanted to be a veteranarian, but I'm allergic to ctas and Ive heard Vet school is harder than med school (and they often make less than doctors, I interened for one vet and she only makes $50,00 a year after all that school!
I decided to be a nurse when I was in highschool. We had an ROP program at my HS which let us intern at places in my small community. I interned at the vtes office, the clinic and a for the Behavioral health center. I liked them all and I really like the thought of doing medical stuff.
My fave classes in school were biology, history & english. Bio was one of my best subjects and i later learned that I liked psycholgy too! So I figured w/ the nursing shortage I could get a ADN at my community college (i had a hard time finding a way to pay for a 4 year univerisity so I went the er, less expensive route at a JC). I think I will get my BS (in either Biology or a BSN) so I could teach biology at the highschool level or get further educatin and teach at the college level (masters is needed at community colleges).
Well I start my RN program next semester and Im sooooo excited:D
Well I just thought I would share my story (or most of it)
