3. Sac State vs Berkeley

   habi14 replied to Dotcomtm's topic in Career Support

   I also considered doing two years at Berkeley and 2 years back at Sac state for nursing but now that I look at it there's honestly no point at all. Your degree isn't going to be from Berkeley. You can do the same exact thing at Sac State. Also, look ...

   Thank you so much for commenting! I remember when I spoke to a lot of people about my prior wish to be a pediatrician they were telling me the same things including the lack of work-life balance and physicians having a very high rate of divorce. I ap...

    Thank you so much for sharing, you completely reinforced my decision! :) I hope to be that kind of nurse some day. Haha, thanks for that last quip I'll be sure to say that next time someone tries to tell me I'm "selling myself short."

    This is a great idea and I'm going to look into this ASAP, thank you so much! I have some research to do! I was trying to find a spot for volunteering in Pediatrics or even anything having to do with direct patient contact but they often want experie...
