Which career to chose?

Published

Hi I am a new memeber here. I currently work full time and hoping to go back to nursing school. I want to be medical missionary in the future, should I be RN or to get head start, LVN has enough responsibility I can take on? I have to support myself while I attend school since I have no family in the states. Financially I limited as well. Please advise!

I'm curious---Medical missionary? do you mean that when you practice medicine you'll be promoting Christianity, or that you are planning on going to some disadvantaged country and donate your time?

I don't want to speak for the original poster but usually when a person becomes a medical missionary, they donate their time to work in free clinics. Discussing their spiritual beliefs is secondary. However, their belief system is what motivates them to do the work they do. I'm sure that non-religious healthcare workers provide the same services but for different organizations.
