What do you suggest doing when the majors you're interested in are vastly different and require very different schooling?

I am interested in early education or being a pediatrician. I do not know what type of schooling I'll be able to afford and do not have enough basis to make a decision likely until a few years into college. Unfortunately, these two majors seem to require extremely different schooling and I do not know what courses I could take that would apply for either major. #education #pediatrics #majors

When you are certified to become a pediatrician, will you start right away as a pediatrician or will you have to go through the step ladder as an assistant, then nurse, then pediatrician doctor?

I would like to know if you go straight to become a pediatrician after medical school as you are certified or do you have to go through training at a doctor's office and be a nurse before actually treating patients as a pediatric doctor, since I would like to become a pediatrician. #doctor #career #medicine #pediatrics #pediatrician

As a nurse, when in your career, and how did you deal with the first patient that passed away? How or did this impact how you cared for patients afterwards?

I want to be a nurse, more specifically, I want to work with sick children. I want to make them smile even when they do not feel like it. I want to be a comforting presence to them when they are scared or in pain. I am even thinking I want to work with children who are in treatment for Cancer. #nursing #nurse #registered-nurses #pediatrics #nurse-practitioner #icu-nurse #hospice-nurse

Is become a pediatrician hard because of the children you see daily?

Would I be able to only stay in the pediatrics field in occupational therapy because I want to work with children? Does that include encouraging them to get physically fit and healthy again?

I originally wanted to be a pediatrician because I love working with kids and I believe that that's what I want to do with my life. I love helping people especially children. I started college as a biology major but after taking courses in Biology, I realized that Biology isn't for me. Many advisors and student I've spoke to me told me that I don't have to be a bio major to be a pediatrician. So, I started considering other things I was really interested in. After taking the Myer Briggs test, I discovered what I already knew, that I love helping, encouraging, and taking care of people and children. So, I got a lot of occupations in the medical field and the education field. The two occupations I'm leaning towards to now are Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy. i just have to find out more about them first. #doctor #pediatrics #occupational-therapy #occupational-health

How difficult is it to change careers in the medical field?

I've always been interested in becoming a pediatrician due to my never ending love for children. However, I fear that once in the field I will not like what I do. Recently, the ER has caught my attention and I was wondering if there was a pediatric section in the ER? #pediatrics #pediatrician #emergency-room #medicine #hospital-and-health-care
