Hi CardiacDork, Thank you for your perspective. Yes, I have shadowed and completed clinical rotation programs previously before switching educational trajectories. It seems if you are a bit frustrated and exhausted with your current situation in nursing. I am hoping it gets better for you. Don't burn yourself out. Thanks again for your feedback!

What is the difference between PA school and nursing school?

Hello, everyone! I have a Bachelor's and Masters degree in Communications and have been in the field for about four years. In high school, I earned my CNA certification and was eligble to test for a phlebotomy certification as well. When I went off to school for my Bachelor's I was a pre-nursing student and completed all the prereqs. I ended up not making the min score required on my HESI (A&P portion) twice and was kicked out of the major right before moving on to clinical for the BSN. Because my academic career at the University was already paid for, I decided to stay and pursued a degree in Communications. I went on to receive my masters (also paid for by a University) as well and have been working in the field doing internal communications, social media, etc. I have the itch to go back to my first love, nursing. I feel torn about switching careers after obtaining all my other degrees. I am looking for advice on changing careers and also thoughts on what types of programs that I should consider? My sciences are expired since it has been longer than five years so I know that I will have to take those at a community college before I can apply to a program anywhere. Looking forward to hearing and gaining your feedback!
