What are jobs in the medical field that don't require going to medical school?

Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a doctor. Now that I have become a high school student, I've done research about what it takes to go to medical school. Helping and interacting with others is what I want to do. Although, I don't think I have what it takes to go into medical school. #medicine #doctor #medical #medical-school #healthcare #nurse

If you attended college. Did the education you received in college, prepare you enough to feel comfortable once you got into the career path you took?

Some people go for advanced training or even just years of college to pursue their careers and I would just like to know if people think its beneficial to have attended college for the career they went into.

Did you know what you wanted to become from the start or did you changed your mind throughout the years?

When I was in elementary I wanted to become a doctor but throughout the years I realized it was difficult and so I decided to become a nurse because I want to study medicine.

What are some Nursing-related jobs LPN's or RN's can go into that aren't directly related to patient care?

I love caring for people but I have a lower stress tolerance than most and think being in a high stress working environment would not be a great choice for me. I however don't want to be bored/not stimulated mentally. #nurse #LPN #LVN #RN #RegisteredNurse #nursing #healthcare #medical

A counselor told me that to be able to go to a University I should start doing extracurricular activities like clubs, sports, etc.(I am not athletic what so ever). My question is, Is it really that necessary?

I don't always have time for extracurricular activities, I also don't work but I have chores and lots of homework every night, I'm taking 4 AP classes right now ( I'm a junior in high school). Just thinking about joining a club and staying after-school sounds like too much stress! ( I know I want to study in the medical field even though I can be terrible at math and science) #psychology #nursing #medicine #nurse #pediatrics #veterinarian

How can I become a RN?

I am currently a junior in high school. I am very interested in nursing, and becoming an RN. I am having trouble understanding the steps , like what do I do first after I graduate high school ? Do I go straight to nursing school ? Do I go to college/university first and if so what classes should I take ? I want to obtain a BSN but is it before or after nursing school ? I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask and I'm sorry for all these stupid questions, I don't have anyone at home who can help me. I did sign up for Medical Terminology, will it be useful to know for nursing school ? #medical-school #nursing #rn #college #nurse #pharmacy #medicine

Does it matter what college you graduated from when you apply to nursing school ?

I am a student who wants to go to UC Santa Cruz, but I don't know if I need to be taking an extra step and looking for schools already with a nursing program. I have applied to all the UC's, are other private 4-year colleges something that I should be curious for? Also, what qualities do nursing schools look for when accepting applicants?
