These are great advises. Thank you, everyone.

Hello. I am working on my packet/program submission about a year in advance so I can have time to cover anything and everything. I was a veterinary technician for about 10 years before starting a family 6 years ago. I still have very well kept skills and knowledge and know my way around drugs, surgery room, charting, computer database, SOAPS, etc. I was wondering, can you point me the direction that can give me a good idea on how to implement the vet tech career into the nursing career? I have two friends that are English majors and I have access to an excellent student career center for the essay process, but they want me to come to them AFTER I have my essay topics and so I would like to start on how to add in the vet tech skills. Thank you!

Hello. I am currently in college taking pre-reqs and from the looks of it, I am a B student. The reason is, I have two small boys, I'm 41 so I don't have the "punch" as I did and my husband is starting a new career while I slow down on my dog training business. I have wanted to be a nurse for years but with the pregnancies and a sciatica injury, that delayed me a few years. That said, it looks like being a Medical Assistant for awhile until I chip away and get As on my bios & chems for that perfect 3.8 GPA and high TEAS colleges want students to have. Are medical assistants respected and valued in the clinics/hospitals and what are your thoughts on medical assistants? I also have my CNA license as part of the RN requirements, but here in Washington, MAs have more range and $. Thank you for your time.
