Hey Nurses and future Nurse! Im going through a bit of a dilemma. Right now I'm at a community college finishing up my prerequisites. I'm working a 40+ hours job at the emergency room as a Tech Aide and my manager HATES the fact that I'm in school because she knows that in a couple of years, she will have to hire another person for my position. Before I got hired in the emergency room, the person before me was also in school for Nursing and had to leave because it was impossible for her to do clinicals and working a full-time. My question is, if it's possible to do all my prerequisites at my community college and then transfer to a university to do my Bachelors or do I have to do my Associates degree in nursing, do my clinicals and then go for my Bachelors? Can I do my clinicals after my Bachelors degree? I'm just trying to avoid doing clinicals in my Associates. If that's even possible. Thanks!

Hi I'm Liz. I'm 24 years old and I'm currently working in the hospital. I am in school for Nursing but I'm doing the prerequisites right now. I am so indecisive of what I want to do as a career. I either want to be a Sonographer or a Nurse Anesthetist. I just don't know if I can smart enough to work as a Nurse Anesthetist. Am I too late to be either of one of these careers. Can someone tell me the pros and cons about the 2 positions? Is this normal to feel struck at 24 about what I really want as a career? I just don't want to study for something and not love what I'm doing! Please HELP!
