What other careers are there outside from the nursing career? Careers that require the same pre requistites before admissions to a nursing program. Professions that are as rewarding and giving to society. Any and all information is appreciated.
I am only intending to explore my options. I realize if the opportunity does not come for me in nursing. I am at ease and peace with my self only when helping or giving to others. At the moment its difficult for me to accomplish more then just giving advice because I cannot afford to help my self. By these mean I like helping others with financial issues and emotional. I am open to hearing of any careers that branch out with my current studies and where I can also benefit and grow big within the industry.
If helpful:
Note: I have an associates of arts with pre reqs to transfer to a bsn program.
*** I have also taken the hesi for 5 sections A&P, reading comprhension, math, vocabulary and grammer. (other programs may require the hesi) I also tested seperatly for critical thinking
Thank you

Most medical related fields require the same basic pre-requisites. You could look at respiratory therapy, radiology technician, medical technologist, sonogram technician, surgical technician, EMT or paramedic to name a few.
