For those working in healthcare, in fields like medicine, pharmacy, and optometry. How do you know when it’s time to make a pivot in your career, and what do think are the most appropriate steps to take? As I’m getting further along in my career journey, one of the things I worry about is feeling stuck in my chosen field. Have you ever felt like this? If so, what have you done to overcome or avoid this?

What things should you consider and what classes would be the on the priority list to take? I discovered that my university has no nursing program and only has pre-nursing program which is not that clear which made me stumble upon community colleges and many people encouraging it.

I am a high school senior who is really interested in pursuing a BSN. However, I am unsure which college would be the best fit. I live in Houston, TX. I am primarily interested in competitive universities and I always look for ones with low acceptance rates, as I have a pretty decent GPA and good stats and would like to challenge myself further. Please provide me with some advice on what my priorities should be when looking for a college. Also, does it matter if a college has a high acceptance rate? I feel that attending a university with a high acceptance rate makes me believe that I am among people who may not be as competitive, and I feel that I deserve to challenge myself more.

Also would like to know if it would be easier for me to get an in-campus job as soon I will get my EKG and phlebotomy certification through High school. Like any universities that have good medical centers nearby that will get me a part-time job. Please any sort of advice would be appreciated...
