For my next school year, I plan on pursuing Dual enrollment and was wondering what classes I should take. The courses that I thought would be good for my future career (Radiologist(specifically x-ray technician)) Health Care providers/assistance, Health information management, Biolgy and Physiology, Health services administration, Health sciences, anatomy and physiology, human nutrition, Nursing-Generic-undergraduates, and surgical technology studies. I was wondering what would be the absolute best classes for me to take. And as far as math and chemistry go would I need to take those classes again? Please help.

What advice would you give to prospective CRNA school students?
I have considered changing my dream health career choice many times. But a CRNA has always stood out to me, and has remained my #1 choice within the health field.

A struggling 16 yr old!(pre-med,MBA,Business, fashion)
Hi, I’m currently a 16 year old who recently got homeschooled and in my junior year of high school. I’m on a journey on rediscovering myself of what I’m capable of doing( I’m trying to learn what I’m good at and I’m not and who I am). I used to run my own candy business and it was fun interacting with people and getting their feedback on my candy so it got me thinking for quite some time that I love knowing what I do makes people happy and makes their day a bit better with a snack so I was wondering if something in the medical field or maybe fashion because I like the way fashion is and the way it hold confidence over me maybe can be an option because I don’t want to work where I will be behind a computer while working a 9-5 job. I like helping people, marketing objects, social media, being my own boss, making discoveries. Things to know about me: -I get bored to easily if it’s a repeating cycle of the same day -I like to travel -my family plays a big role - I like to challenge myself - I have an ENTP personality -I want to make an impact on people’s life's - I want to make my make name known in the world and leave history behind

What is the process of becoming a registered nurse ?
As a community college student aspiring to become a Registered Nurse (RN) and planning to transfer to a University of California (UC) school after two years, I find myself confused about the specific prerequisites I need to fulfill during my time at community college. Could you provide a detailed overview of the entire process of becoming an RN, including the essential courses I should take at my community college to ensure I meet the transfer requirements for a UC nursing program? Additionally, could you explain the differences between the types of nursing programs available, such as Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) versus Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and how they may affect my educational path and career opportunities? Furthermore, I would appreciate insights into any important admission criteria I should be aware of, such as GPA requirements, entrance exams, or clinical experience, as well as any tips for successfully navigating the application process to a UC nursing program.

What should i study (healthcare and maths in one)?
I’m a student about to enter to university. I get good grades, but I’m undecided on what to study in uni. I’m looking for something related to healthcare, best if its with children. My fav subjects are maths and science, i do pretty well with them, except for physics. I want to make enough money to live comfortably and a degree that works worldwide and in demand. Pediatrics is in my mind but I would have to go through the whole process of taking med and then doing internship and specialization, which is not my goal since I prefer not interacting with adults. Ask any other further questions. Thankyou!

Is Nurse Practitioners better or Physician Assistants better?
Is Nurse Practitioners better or Physician Assistants better?
Would it be beneficial for me to work in a healthcare setting for experience while in nursing school, or would it be better to fully focus on my studies to succeed in the program?
I will be finishing my pre-reqs soon and planning to attend Wayne State's nursing program. and I feel like working at a healthcare unit would give me more experience, but I feel like again that would be too much. I want more advice on that or how I can balance if I do work and go to school. Since I do need the money to pay for my classes.
Good day Everyone, I would really appreciate if someone could kindly explain in great detail what the difference is between a career in pharmacology and a career in pharmacy . And I don't just mean salary wise, what can one do that the other absolutely can't, how are they both viewed in the workplace... and lots more. Initially, I thought that they were both the more or less on the same level but I've heard lots of things about the former being a less "noble" path and that sometimes they end up as Pharmacy Assistants. I'm hoping to get more of a real life perspective, because searching online has managed to confuse me even more. Thank you in anticipation.?
I'm a college student hoping to be able to see things clearly as they are in the real world.
