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

What are some important experiences or lessons you've learned from your own careers that could be helpful for others to know?

What specific skills or knowledge have those experiences taught you? Have they shaped you into the person you are today, and how? This can be a wide range of experiences/lessons such as learning how to balance work and life or how to overcome setbacks. I am currently planning on going into the medical field, and I would like to know your own valuable lessons that you've gained throughout your life/career to help guide me through my career path.

Hi! My name is Daniela and I want to ask a few questions about becoming a Pediatrician. How many years of college is necessary? Which are the best schools? Was it hard to find a job? What does an average day look like? Do you get plenty of days off? What training and certification are needed? Do you need to complete exams after you are already a pediatrician to keep up with the most current medical knowledge? And, What was the most challenging part of becoming a pediatrician? Can any pediatrician please answer these.

Is the grade card for nursing different for all schools or is there one universal grade chart for all nursing school students?

I am going into nursing school and noticed a grade chart and I wasn't sure if that was for just the specific school or if it related to a universal grade chart. After becoming an RN, I will be a pediatrician. #medicine ##grades #nursing #college #pediatrics
