#Fall24 Why do I feel such a strong pull to go back into Healthcare?
I wanted to become a nurse but could not because my daughter was a preemie, born at 2 pounds 8 ounces. Thank God I am proud to say that she is a college student and pursuing her own educational goals. I feel a strong pull to go back and pursue where I left off. While she was growing up, I did get a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, but I still feel this pull to go back into Healthcare. Is this odd? Thank you for taking your time and reading my post.

As a deaf person interested in attending Crown College to pursue ministry and eventually become a surgeon working in other countries, what are the biggest challenges I might face in both fields, especially in communication, cultural differences, and accessibility, and what specific skills should I develop in college to overcome these challenges while preparing for a career that blends healthcare and ministry in diverse, international settings?
I am a deaf high school student interested in pursuing both ministry and a career as a surgeon, with a particular focus on international work. I want to understand how to effectively communicate and serve in different cultural contexts, especially where access to healthcare might be limited or where there might be language barriers. My goal is to prepare for a future where I can help others both spiritually and physically, and I want to know what steps I should take now to make this possible. #Fall24

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 it okay to not take a science junior year
I am currently a sophomore in high school and I want to go into pre med. I have all my science credits from taking bio chem and biomedical science and I do not have room for another junior year. Is it ok to not take science junior year but take physics senior year. In addition I want to do the certified nursing class at my school but is it worth it if I wanna become a doctor and major in biology Because the class takes up 2 blocks so If I don't do it I could take more science classes. ?
What kind of work is done in a pharmacy? What is your most favorite and least favorite part of working as a pharmacist? Why did you choose pharmacy as a career?
I'm currently starting trade school and I would like to get to know more information about the career I'm interested in getting into. I don't have any experience in working in a pharmacy, I've only worked retail before. I'm interested in getting into Pharmacy because I want to be able to help people in need. I hope to get a job at a hospital where I’ll hopefully make medicine for the patients that need it.

What do doctors think about assisted suicide in regards to their patients ?
As a student in bioethics and as someone who would like to pursue medicine, I am always intrigued by the argument behind euthanasia and assisted suicide with patients. I am curious to know what the common consensus is among doctors.
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.
