I think I just might stay in school for the rest of my life....

... I started at NKU this past fall for Biochemistry/premed and I hated it!

I think every med student has hated biochemistry

I've heard organic chem/biochem are the courses that are supposed to be weed out the "non-committed" students

It's like "Hell Week" selection for the Navy Seals; all recruits hate it, you just have to suck it up and do it
and just like "Hell Week" you have the option of dropping biochem and med school with no shame
as they say, "it's not for everyone"

did you do your pharmacy class ? physiology class ?

what did you think about them ?

an option other than PA is NP (Nurse Practitioner)
there are MANY schools that offer a "fast track" NP program for people who have a 4 year degree in something other than nursing

so if someone only had a degree in English they could still be admitted in the NP program as long as they fulfilled the pre-reqs (usually microbiology, A&P, statistics, developmental psychology) and have high scores on the GRE

these fast track programs usually last 15 months
after 15 months you're awarded a BS in Nursing and then you have the option of enrolling in the Masters program (you're not eligible for NP licensing until you complete the Masters program), but you of course don't have to do the Masters program
