What is the difference between nurses who hold an MSN and a DSN? MD?
Firstly, what are some job and pay differences between Nurse Practitioners (MSN) and those who hold a Doctorate of Science in Nursing? Additionally, what are some differences between DSN Nurses and M.D.'s, aside from the large pay gap and title of doctor in a medical setting? Lastly, if one were to pursue an M.D., how much could reasonably be covered by scholarships and financial (federal) aid such as grants?

I am wanting to become an EMT
Hello, I am finally starting to become serious about wanting to start my career and I am just wanting/needing help on where to start and how to go about it. I've been looking into schools, but I also want to go to my local fire station to talk to someone there, and to also put a face to a name. I want to start school at the end of this year or beginning of next year (2025). I know you start by going to school and getting your EMT and becoming certified, but I like to know all the information I can get and being able to talk to someone already in the career seems helpful to me. All of this to say what should I do and where do I start, and are there any tips for me. Thank you!!

I want to work in the medical field and become an orthopedist.?
Currently I'm a freshman in high school and I want to study medicine. The study of Orthopaedics has interested me and I want to follow a career path related to this field. Since this age and grade is the perfect time for me to plan for my future and think about what I want to be, I have some questions about this profession. Is it worth it? Should I dedicate the rest of my life in the field of medicine because it has good opportunities and pays good money or should I do it because it is a deep interest of mine? And if so, should I spend 8 years in college or switch to a medical school? What is the better option?

Are M.D./Ph.D. (neuroscience specifically) programs worth it ?
I'm currently a high school senior. I already committed to a college and I'll be majoring in neurobiology but I wanted to get some advice from others to see if an M.D./Ph.D. program after undergrad is the way to go (or if just getting an M.D. is better) so that I can start preparing for it. I know I want to become a neurosurgeon and that I definitely do want to do research before residency.
