- Hi everybody Shaman here. This video is basically a comparison between students in nursing school, med school, and pa school! We're all 1st year students at Yale in our respective programs so I hope you enjoy this unique perspective!
Don't forget to subscribe and share for more videos!
Here’s my video about scoring in 100 percentile on the MCAT: • How I Scored in the 10...
Here’s my video about how I got straight A’s all my life: • How I Got Straight A's...
Thanks for watching please share this video with anyone who you think it might help!
Honestly, I think that you are an inspiration to many of us.
I greatly appreciate all of the information that you have shared in this video as well as on other videos. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a video where you talk about the extracurriculars you have done throughout undergrad, and tips for time management.
Please like the comment if you agree with me and want a video on what I stated :).
Thank You :)
I'm a dentist in India and I wanna be a physician assistant, can you please guide me what do I have to do?
The scarf and the headband kept moving. What the heck?!?? I thought I was going crazy or something.
It's caused by video editing.
@@ProtectChildrenNotGuns nahh they just wanted to mess with the viewers
The following advice are for those pursuing the PA/NP/MD route (Granting, I do recommend shadowing and volunteering first).
PA Route: 1. Increase your Healthcare Exposure hours by working as a scribe (No license required), EMT, Medical Assistant, or other (it depends on the program's job preference but you may also need between 200 - 2000 hours) 2. Any bachelors degree is fine (Although, a healthcare related bachelors degree is personally better in my opinion, such as Respiratory Therapist, X-Ray Tech, and others. Rather than a broad science or non-science degree, which are completely fine by the way. Ask me why if you like). 3. You will have fluidity to work in many specialties as you please (OBGYN, Dermatology, *primary care*!!)
NP route: 1. Have Healthcare Exposure hours by working as a nurse for some time. 2. Have a Bachelors of Nursing degree which is required and it *can't* be any other bachelors degree (there is an exception, please ask if you will like to know).
3. You will work in the specialty of your study with little to no fluidity, which is fine as long as you love your specialty (you can thank your shadowing and volunteering hours for this) e.g. OBGYN, Dermatology, *primary* *care* ect.
MD route: 1. No prior working experience required (which more schools should because you dont want to spend 7-10 years and then find out you are not a people person. Just get a healthcare related job). 2. Any bachelors degree. 3. You will work in the specialty of your study with little to no fluidity. (Which is fine as long as you have passion for your speciality study. You can thank your shadowing and volunteering hours for this!)
I am planning to make videos of my journey. I am just extending a helping hand because I wished someone would have told me this information which I am sharing with you all now. Best of luck. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Blessings.
411foryou what is the exception for NP? I have 2 bachelors in psych and bio and was pre med but now I’m leaning towards nurse practitioners. I don’t have a nursing degree so I’m wondering if I’ll have to now go into nursing school first. If u know the answer please let me know that would really help 😁😁
TheYoungFashionFix to become a NP you need 2-3 Year’s clinical experience
@411foryou curious why a healthcare related bachelors degree is impt for PA but not MD. very helpful comparisons btw!
What is the exception for NP?
For PA, can you also work in a hospital as a phlebotomist; will that count as a medical experience in the medical field before going into PA school?
Lol as soon as he said no bachelors required I saw 3 people ready to switch programs 😂😂😂
I am currently a nurse pursuing med school to be a doctor. Although I have contemplated NP school many times over, I can't get over my drive to become a physician. Your videos motivate and inspire me Shaman!! Thank you!
Romi agreed
Awesome 👏🏾
Do you need a nursing degree in order to transfer to pre-med or can you just get a biology or biomedical Science?
you realize that physicians won't get paid anywhere as much as they get paid now right? your student loan debt will still be 300k plus though. you'll just be a line factory worker for these hospitals. if the money part doesn't scare you, then imagine not ever having time for a personal life for 10 years. oh, and a baby? fertility drops after age 32 and really dips at 35.
@@skylarhough-anderson8066 nursing will NEVER fullfil the prerequisites for medical school. it's a totally different ballgame. you're wasting time and money if you are going into nursing if medicine is your ultimate goal. the original poster is ALREADY a nurse . so that is different than choosing to do.nursing before medicine
Such a wonderful idea to bring all these healthcare professionals/providers together! Im a RN, going for Nurse Practitioner. I watch Medbros religiously and i love it. Keep up the awesome videos, Shaman!
+Aiman S Thank you so much and good luck!
This video was awesome! I’m a nursing student, and your videos really motivate me to do good in school. Keep up the good work!
+Tatiana Campuzano Thank you and best of luck with nursing school!
This is such a great video! Great idea to have different areas of health care come together and compare each other. Regarding male nurses, from my experience they are in demand in many health care settings because they are able to lift heavier stuff than female nurses. But from what I've experienced working in long-term care settings, there are usually more female residents and they prefer working with female caregivers/nurses than male. So it highly depends on the area of health care you want to work in, but for the most part male nurses are in very high demand.
Great video!! Was waiting for your turn to wear the head wrap 😋
Oh wow!!! This is so inspiring.
I have been thinking on going back to school, for nursing or PA and since I have a bachelor's in healthcare administration I decided to go with PA and still researching my way out.
Thanks to you all.
Lol why were you guys rotating your accessories
Theyre a little nervous, relax
@@edaguilar1798 it was a joke
Good job on the channel!!!
really love It, thought that you wouldn’t keep up with it but I’m really surprised I would love more vlogs!
Please do a video talking about your premed journey and the volunteering/shadowing/internships you did!! Along with getting research, volunteering, internships etc done, I want to work with a non profit but I'm worried about investing my time during undergrad in something that med schools don't look for. Would like to know what you think about how premed years should/shouldn't be spent. Also congrats on making it into Yale and please keep the videos coming I find them really useful :)
+Charlotte Le Roux Thank you and will definitely make a comprehensive video of all those things in the future!
One big difference between NP and PA is that NP's tend to specialize in certain areas and PA's can perform whatever level of care their supervising physician feels they are competant in performing (able to change specialities). I am in California and up until recently there was a pathway in the law that allowed RN's to go through certain PA programs to graduate with both a PA and NP license.
The vast majority of my PA class did have 4 year degrees and required 2000 hours of patient care experience ro get in. Additionally, you were also required to have some form of a healthcare lisence for admission. That tallied the total school up to anywhere between 5 to 7 years. Ultimately, the patients generally cant tell the difference between an NP, PA and frequently a physician. A good provider is a good provider! No matter the intitials after our name, we always need to remember the patient comes first!
Arrows1440 do you have to go back to school to change specialities when you’re a pa
Great Video! 👍 I thought you were going to wear the head wrap XD
Who else noticed that each person was wearing the headband and the scarf? They kept switching.
Yay go PAs! I am currently dying in my PA program but hopefully it's all worth it!
preee of course it will be
Is it a lot ???
@kiara harmon It's just a lot of material condensed into a short amount of time. Doable, but also overwhelming at times.
Which school?
Kiara Harmon is
Super interesting and informative! Wish you would've had a pharmacist too tho!
Loved your video as it was very informative! Thanks for sharing Shaman :)~
LOL was I the only one that noticed how the 3 girls switched who wore the head wrap as the video went on??? BTW great video!!! I've never seen one like this before on youtube
Thanks for sharing, this was a helpful video as I am in the process of deciding what route I want to go. Also I noticed that your the only one that didn’t rock the head band, it was interesting seeing that each person wore it😂.
For WA state an R.N. degree takes 3 years for your associates. It's about $17k. You get paid $23-35/hr. It can go up if you specialize to about $45-$50/hr. Employers want you to continue onto your B.S.N. For a nurse practitioner your looking at a D.N.P program (a BSN and a doctorate in nursing) typically 7 years. About $46k for your BSN degree and $78k-125k for your doctorate. You make $110k-$225k after experience and specializing. You can practice autonomously. P.A. is a 4 year undergrad in anything ($50k) and then 2 years for your Masters degree (+$80k). P.A. school requires 2000hrs of patient contact. Typically thru an EMT profession. P.A. make around $110k+. They must work under the supervision of a physician thus far. Then an MD $50k for a 4 year premed undergrad plus 4 years of medical school $250k-$330k depending on housing. You get paid as a resident around $50k/yr which is another 2+ years and fellowship (10-12 years total w/undergrad). After all of that you can start out at $175k and go up to $400k+. (However don't forget those student loans and interest). Some government programs will forgive or pay up to $75k toward a practitioners loan debt or even help with interest. Typically you have to work in a underserved area to qualify. Nice video!
Girl I live in Connecticut and where I work my nursing supervisor makes $300k and everybody in the nursing department is making well over $100k.
Miss Chantell I am currently applying to nursing school and I was worried about the salary as compared to a doctor. I have always had a strong passion for medicine but the debt and time in school does scare me. Do you know what type of education you and the other professionals in your clinic did to reach that salary both education wise and work experience wise?
Thank you for this!!!! I’m at a crossroads right now trying to figure out if I want to go to nursing school or med school. Thank you for the insights!
what have you decided :o
Awesome video! I wish you could have included a CRNA I believe Yale has a program
Thanks for the video Shaman! Can you post a video elaborating more on your curriculum and testing? It seems very interesting.
Yeah of course! It is definitely interesting and unique!
eaaaarly!!!
edit: did anyone notice how the yellow scarf kept moving?? like everyone but the girl on the far left had it lol
they all had it. i noticed it too.
and the head thing too!
I noticed it too and it drove me crazy lol
yes! The scarf and the headband kept changing, I kept scrolling back to see who had had it! drove me crazy!
yes! The scarf and the headband kept changing, I kept scrolling back to see who had had it! drove me crazy!
I wish you guys got a pharmacist too because thats what I am studying. Otherwise, great video!
hi sweetheart :) are u a muslimah? if so i am inviting u to Christianity so u can be in heaven! Please watch "The Arabian Prophet." studies like medicine, nursing, pharmacy, etc. all are very time consuming and should be done when we KNOW where we are going to be for eternity :) feel free to join "The Arabian Prophet" and i on his livestreams :) God bless u !
gia, unlike u i actually love her enough to tell her the truth. we are ALL hellbound if we dont accept the gospel. we are put on this earth to know God and to make him known. Studies like medicine, etc. are EXTREMELY time-consuming and take away from our true purpose in life. u should be joining me in trying to proselytize her :) much love :)
Paul Awad stop trying to indoctrinate her. let her believe what she wants. this is why no one likes you people.
nica, i have been doing my research and i WISH universalism were true, but unfortunately at BEST there is annihilation of the unsaved soul if it isnt eternal conscious torment :(
nica, unfortunately this is the truth. i was WISHING that this isnt the truth, but the top guys (Christian Prince, Sam Shamoun, Dr. Craig, Dr. Turek, Mike Winger, etc.) disagree. i want her in heaven, but unfortunately it is evident she has no mental disability so she will be judged for her choices. i want to save every muslim because they are so passionate, but they are heading down the wrong path. one sin against an eternal God will warrant eternal punishment, and this is why we need Jesus Christ to cover our sins. it is a free gift and i pray everyone accepts it.
Wow I mean, you guys definitely deserve those salaries, especially after the years of diligent work and paying into tuition. I'm so happy that's offered to you because I'm sure working in the medical field can be difficult. However, I wish counselors were paid better. I'm going to school for it because I love it but I know I'll never make 6 figures in my life, even with a lot of school, training, and clinical hours.
AnGrYRameN my last therapist had their own practice but still made a livable wage but not much better than that. Also, if you open your own practice, I'm not sure if you qualify for any sort of insurance or retirement plans which can be an issue. Most clinicians wait a while until they open their own practice, but you're right that it's a lot of work. I also agree that military psychologists may make better money as that job must be extremely difficult. Also, psychologists can be counselors but usually that requires a doctorate degree. Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm planning to work in a school setting so i'll make the same money as teachers despite having more schooling than them. :/ again, I'm going to love it but money will be tight.
Maybe you should try medical school then if you're interested in counseling. I think the reason why medical professionals are paid a lot because people's life are in their hands. Not saying counselors are unimportant because they deal with medicine, cutting people open, and etc. Nonetheless, money isn't everything.
coffeeyogamakeup92 oh no I see why doctors make more than counselors! I absolutely think that they should. However, I think that teachers and counselors should be able to make more of a livable wage in general. That's all. And I'm terrible at science and advanced math so I knew pursuing a bachelor of science wasn't for me, though some undergraduate psychology programs are in science instead of art.
Redeemed that's great! I'm sure you'll be a great psychiatrist. We definitely need more of them. Nurse practitioners can be psychiatrists as well. My path is already set up for me and I'm happy with it! It'll just be a few years before I make a living wage.
imagine living in the uk, going through med school, and then only earning £22,000. the max you can ever earn as a consultant after 10 or so years of (residency as you say in the states) earning £120,000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣(i hate this)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is great this is what I needed super helpful!!
A lot of high degree students giving advise on professions in healthcare with not a single one of them actually having any patient care experience..
This is so helpful! Thank youuu :)
Awesome!! Would you be able to do a video on how to pick the right medical school for yourself? And how you researched programs and decided which one you wanted to go to
very grateful for this video. ive been doing research between a physician and a PA for a long time to decide which is best for me, this video was very helpful. thank you!!!
Caitlyn Garrigan I’m a PA student. If you have any questions you can message me on Instagram. @lisafellis
Awesome that you did this!
this is really helpful, thanks guys!
This helped a lot! Thank you!
Hey medbros, so In the video you posted on how you placed in the 100th percentile of the mcat, you were saying that you studied the Kaplan books through out college, I was curious if you were talking about your last year in college or the whole 4 years, and if so what year of Kaplan books did you study because I know that they have 2017-18 mcat Kaplan books or even 2016-17 and so on?
Looking back most difficult parts were pathology in 2nd year , usmle step 1 and first year of residency.
I'm excited to show this with my sister! :)
yes wished someone would do this kind of vid... i want to be a nurse as well.
Hi Shaman! What kind of doctors are you and your sister trying to be?
Thank you for these super useful videos!
Are all of you planning to do obstetrics or peds? I'm not sure why this video was suggested for me, but found it very interesting! I have two special needs children. We just recently started our journey with genetic testing and initial testing came back looking like Joubert Syndrome (for my eldest anyway) Great job on your channel! I think you gave lots of great info!
super helpful video thank you!
With nursing you have so many options. Not nearly as expensive as becoming a doctor. I'm 17 and hoping to get into nursing school
Ahh This is great. keep it up yall!
Very informative ! Thank you ! 🙂
MedBros, thank you for your sharing about this video! Have a great day!
Thank you for watching!
Honestly, I think that you are an inspiration to many of us.

Such a great video idea!
Please please make a video what to do if you don’t get into med school!!
I swear this video is messing with my brain, not the talk...it's the accessories being changed between them!!! LOLOL
Does a C and W look bad on transcripts for medical school? I know it’s best to not have them but will not not get accepted into med school for having them?
Can you make a video about your undergrad experience? Where you went? Your academics, extracurricular, gpa etc. basically how u got into med school
Yup will do in the future!
Why were the headbands moving so often? Haha I just imagine between takes theyre like "hey let's switch" "okay!" ...Unless you guys purposely did that to see if anyone would notice lol
Please make a video on how you are planning your usmle step one prep.
+Rohini Dutta Will get to it for sure!
So do we go to college first or med school and what should I major in
This was a great video btw yo
Wow, you can become a nurse practitioner really quickly in America. In Australia, the job isn't as common as it seems to be in the States, and it can take nurses around 14 years to become an NP. Are there any US nurses out there who have oppinions on fast tracking the route to becoming an NP?
Bsum1 it take about 7 years in America... it will take less for me, since I went to community college and finished prerequisites very quick and then 2 year of bachelors degree. Then 2-3 years NP. Salaries are good too...about $150.000 in Cali
Thanks Unicorn Horse! Do you think you'll feel ready to be an NP with five years of study under your belt? Will you have much work experience by that point, or will those five years be strait uni with clinical placements?
@@bsum1290 NP schools need experience before they go back to school for NP. You need 4 years of undergrad... Bachelors in Science of Nursing.. and then use your knowledge on the floor, so assess head to toe, administer meds, knowledge of meds, and focus on pathophysiology... so when you do get into NP school.. many people go after a couple of years.. you will be familiar already of diseases and medications because you already went to school for it and worked. You will already know background pathophysiology and will need to take an even more advanced pathophysiology course, more medications, and deeper assessment skills, labs, scans and all for NPs so yes Nps will be ready when they leave school along with more clinical hours as a provider role.
She said 80k for PA school which is about how much my program cost at the time
Im studying to become a P.A. Currently waiting for the spring semester to start going for my Bachelors Degree in Biomedical Sciences
TT Challenger if you have any questions you can message me on Instagram @lisafellis. I’m a current PA student.
Awesome .
2 tips
1) Take ur hand away from ur face .
2) Always exhibit being present in the conversation BY simply engaging through looking at the speaker & receiving their message by shaking your head yes with nonverbal communication.
When you look away it makes you appear as a superior Dr. to your fellow medical professionals .
This is not you !
You are amazing .
Just like your siblings you are gorgeous inside and out! I'm so proud of you!!
This is very informative video between the NP, PA and DR's.Cos
Dont forget respiratory therapists!!
your tuitions are CRAZY expensive holy crap :O
I'm Canadian as well and I pay 2,000 $ per semester (I'm in nursing school). I know people in Med here at they pay around 6,000 $ a semester. Having to pay 50,000 $ every year for an education is absurd. :O
Jacqueline well only elite schools ask that much. Plus, if you don’t have money they pay...I am in med school and I don’t pay at all...nobody does who earns less than $50.000 per year
Jacqueline what your school name?
University of Montreal
Julia Gungor what he has to do with that? Lol always go into politics. Gosh pathetic
Great video bro!
+The Flash Unlimited Thank you!
the PA salary and nurse salary seem to be quite off. PAs start out making at the very least 90K, but the average is 110-120K. Nurses start out making only around 50K, but the average is around 80K
Great Video !
+HudsonMed Thank you!
What about hospital pharmacists?
Omg more videos with the midwife please! I have so many questions!
*Bro Plzz make a video on Scope of indian nurse in foreign countries*
Hey Shaman, can you do a video where you talk about the experiences and activities you had applying into medical school?
+Damilola Oke Yup will do in the future!
I think it's really important to emphasize the difference between nurse practitioners and nurses. A nursing background is what makes the NP profession so special, but NP school is NOT nursing school. Frequently in your video you said "nurse", as well as in your title, instead of NP. Just pointing out :) Loved the video!
PAs can earn where where from about 90k-300k it’s rare to earn up to 300k but there is a percent that does. It depends on the speciality, and where you work. Like state, and hospital
Kandidly Kristen which speciality’s makes the most?
Kandidly Kristen PAs do not make 300k, most doctors don’t even make that
I've worked in ERs for 10+ years now and PAs are not as good as MDs. They take fewer patients and see easier cases. They are not worth 100k+
allyonightmare they do make around $100k though I’ve seen many job offers that pay $130k
Idk about the 300k, but I know for sure PAs make at the LEAST 80k, but a couple PAs I know make 110k which is still great.
In California RNs make about 100,00 a year and NPs make even more than that! and CSUs are only 6,000 a semester.
Depends on where you work! NorCal pays better for the cost of living than SoCal. For example in Sacramento the average salary for an RN is about a $110,000, and it is cheaper to live there than the Bay or LA. :)
wow. That's pretty good. Cost of living is crazy in SoCal
yea but #fucktaxes lol
I Would love to hear more about the NP and where she worked before she entered her program, how long she worked for as an RN before her program. Also how the role of the NP differs from a physician?
snowglobe521 She might not have worked as an RN beforehand! They said their program was 3 years long so they got their BSN in their first year in an accelerated program and then they get their MSN in the last two years.
They do not get Bsn the first year
They only get a certificate in Nursing. BSN is typically 4 years in the Us and five years in other countries
NPs who have never been real RNs might as well have gone to PA school...
exactly, I don't understand at all.
Can you do an interview with your parents. What's the parenting strategy that they have for getting 3 children that are so high achieving and self motivated to do so well
Interesting idea! Look forward to it in the future!
This is an interesting video, since I want to be a midwife. I’ve done some searching online and I don’t know about everywhere else but here in Australia I don’t need my bachelors degree in nursing before hand because we have an option to get our bachelors degree in midwifery and that course includes the bachelors degree in nursing so we get a two in one c:
Nikkii Jane it's a little different from the midwifery in the US. Midwives in the US sees patients like a doctor and practice beyond delivery. That is why it is called midwifery and womens health. Other countries even run midwifery program as a diploma. Your certification will be equal to a US labor room's nurse with BSN not as a IS midwife. I hope you understand the difference
This was informative & all. However, why did they keep switching headband & scarf ? That was a bit distracting 🤔😕
How did she ask to shadow at her hospital? (Someone once told me that it looked bad to request to shadow a doctor while you're volunteering.)
xLifeinmotionx just ask. Life is to short to ponder what others will think.
I worked at a hospital as a CNA and was able to ask two PAs in the ER to shadow them.
Which one is best
love your vids btw
Hi there !! In honor of National Osteopathic Medicine week, I made a RUclips video about what to expect in your first year as an Osteopathic /DOstudent as far as curriculum and lab. I’d love to know what you think. Also, I would so very much appreciate if you could share this video with your subscribers in some way . If not that that’s fine, atleast watching a few minutes would mean a lot to me!
Did the np student one the left insinuate that PA’s can’t prescribe meds??
I think they can only prescribe under the license of the doctor and np dont need someone else?
Can you make an update video?
Hey. Just curious if you're parents are also doctors?
None of your Buisness- I know I’m not them but I’m a PA student and no one in my family is in medicine. I’m the first. Also the only one (parents and sister) to graduate college.
"Yale doesn't even need an undergraduate degree but everyone has one" LOL WHAT THANKS FOR THE INFO😂😂
yale med school seem like the place to be but 10+ years of school after 4years is just like a no for me
TheInfamousA the programs all ache to spend some years. Nurse Practitioners has to go through Bachelors degree for 4years, then a 3years Masters. Residency is between 2 to 7years depending on your specialty and how early you pass your exams. The typical year is 2 to 5years.
They changed scarfs at 6:22 the 2 middle girls
the accelerated NP programs are scary.
Jacob how so?
@@LM-ml2uc very little clinical experience, degree mills, no standardization of skills or competence
I love this vedios I seen nps pas and doctors there all different but all good in there own ways I have no problem with guy nurses and nps I seen them before there not as scary as some people think
I wish radiologic technologists were also referred to in this video. They are very important medical professions that allow for many options in their field. As well as offering a road into the medical field that doesn't take as much schooling. An associates degree and then two years in a radiology program is all you need to become a diagnostic tech. One has many options to specialize within the field to broaden their knowledge as well as make more money. I suggest more people who are interested in the medical field check out this profession if the years of schooling and massive tuition costs are scaring you away.
As soon as the girl in black put on the weird looking thing, I knew they would all wear it by the end of the video. 😂
"I'll have a glamorous live of a 50yo"
"I'll check in w/ u then"
Everyone- yasssss
LOL I love her
No ofense an medical nurse/assistant(eg. To assist) can be compared with an electrician, more practice as opposed to a doctor that is compared to an electrical engineer, more intelectuality. Nurses differ for country to country, prescribing, diagnosis, clinical examination in my oppinion is reserved strictly for doctors, compared to Nurses that are better în pacient care, cathetherisation, warding, bandanging etc. Each have advantages and disadvantages, în the end experience rules all theory.
Can someone explain to me what a scribe is? I am graduating high school this year and I’m interested in the Pre-PA route and I want to start gaining clinical hours but I want to consider all my options. So what is a scribe and how do you go about because one?
Monica Robinson A Scribe is an excellent career to get a feel how PAs/NPs/MDs work. The best part is that you do not need a license (just have a good type writing skills which any course in college can help you with). Best of luck! Get as much exposure as possible before making your decision. It is a 2 in 1 career (medical experience and you are getting paid). I hope this helps.
A scribe is someone who writes physicians notes for them essentially
I’m a PA student. If you have any questions you can message me on Instagram. @lisafellis
“Nurse midwives are providers who can provide” lmao
If you're all really 1st years, then bro reality is -
The level of their healthcare knowledge DWARFS yours greatly (save for the Nurse midwifery student). But that will change very quickly shortly after 2nd year med. Cheers.
Re: the no bachelors thing, it used to be back in the day that med schools would accept students with only ~90 credit hours before they actually got their degrees. This practice has fallen out of favor and most schools require a degree now before matriculation. And schools that still have that policy rarely (if ever) admit students without a BA/BS.
i don’t know what i want to pick!!! NP or MD. I originally wanted to pursue to become a doctor but the amount of time scares me, so when nurse practitioner was recommended to me, i quickly switched. however, i’m not sure if i really want to go through with being a nurse at first. all this scares me since i start college in 3 months and i need to decide or else i have to start over if i want to choose the other career.
What did you end up choosing
