Well that's not cool . It's just hard to choose at this point. On one hand I really want to serve my country in that capacity - it's an awesome opportunity; HOWEVER, I'm not sure if that alone is...
I interviewed for a med/surg position today. I was one of 18 applicants in a 24hr time period. Here in AR it is HARRD to get a job right now. There are 74 graduates at my school alone and we have like...
Well, I'm not completely sure that I want to do military long-term. Nothing against those who do (a lot of my family and friends do), but I'm not sure it would be good for my family. However, we could...
For the most part, my ultimate goal is to become a CRNA; however, I also feel that using my skills as a health care provider in the US military is an awesome opportunity. There's a certain sense of...

yea...my wife's sister is doing the same thing you did. She went through high school with over a 4.0, scored a 34 on her ACT went to college in the Honors Biology Pre-med program and is about to...
Thanks guys. Truthfully, all things aside - i WANT to be a doctor. However, I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay the price it comes with. They are ALL in debt out of med school, they barely make more...
