Where can I apply for my career and still be licensed correctly to perform it?
I am a senior trying to find details about my major of choice: Naturopathic Physician. Although, I have came to notice that the only way you can become a licensed and valid physician of this pathway is to approach a CNME accredited program but from where I live they are far out of state and will most likely be high in tuition. I would like to know is there any other option within state I can choose and still be able to be a licensed Naturopathic Physician? #physician #medical-education #doctor

Will I be at a disadvantage if I pursue a masters-level entry into nursing program instead of getting a BSN first?
I am going to Harvard in the fall to study, and they don't have a nursing program, but if I decided to pursue that career, I was wondering if it would work if I just did a direct entry program at Johns Hopkins or something or if it would be better to just go to PA school. #nursing #medicine #physician

What is it like as a physician assistant?
I'm very interested in pursuing a career in the medical field originally as a physician in the hospital, but many people have told me that it's not worth going to medical school for such a long time, and to become a physician assistant instead. They listed a lot of reasons like having better hours, getting a chunk less(taken out) out of your paycheck because of not having to pay as much for insurance to cover you because you're not the actual doctor making the calls, and so on. None of these people were actually in the medical field though. So, I have a few questions to find out what's actually the real deal with being a physician assistant. What are the differences between being a full physician and a physician's assistant? Do you actually get paid a lot less than a physician? If so, Is it frustrating to be know that you're basically doing the same job as a full physician, but getting paid less than them? What would you say are the pros to the job? The frustrations? If you wanted could you travel to different places because of your job? (like a traveling nurse) Do you spend more time with the patients than the doctors? (I'm a people person, so I'd like to have a lot of patient interaction) Your favorite part of being a physician assistant. Thank you! :) #doctor #medicine #physician
