Going into the career backwards

Published

I'm sort of following this path backwards... I had always wanted to be a doctor and was pre-med in college. But I learned about the healthcare crisis and decided I did not want to practice medicine in the current system, and thought I might be able to be part of a solution by going to law school and practicing health law. Now that I'm almost finished with my JD (I'm only 13 credits away!) and my Health Law Certificate, I'm discovering there are many JD/MDs and JD/RNs in health law with the same goals as me...

So now, I'm applying for the Spring '08 PCA Program at DCCC and I'm going to try to work my way up through the Nursing track in stages, part time, along with my health law career...

Any guidance you could give would be so very much appreciated!

Hello, hennesm81,

I moved your post to the Nursing Career Advice forum for a better response.

Sounds like an interesting career you will have.

I wish you much luck with your nursing career plans as well as the remainder of your law program.

Let us know when you pass the Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, hennesm81

That's a very good choice. You seem like you're fully aware of what you want from your career and you also know the steps you have to take in this regard. You could go for the part-time option and later on go for a specialized internship as well.
