What are some tips for a new grad CST Specifically, for getting lots of experience! Thank you.?

I am currently in a surgical tech program and have heard many opinions on what is the best route to take after graduation. However, I am very interested in gaining as much experience as possible and basically being a sponge. Would a hospital setting be the best for that goal? TYIA

Is there a major that fulfills most medical school requirements without being a pre-med program?

How do I know if I have the stomach to be an RN/work in critical care?

I consider myself a person with strong tolerance to the sort of unsightly things you find in hospitals, but I know the ICU can be a place that tests anyone. What if I fully dedicate myself to becoming a nurse, only to realize I can't handle the gore?

Is trying to become a PA risky, because they are oversaturated?Would it be really hard to find a job as a new grad? Is it worth it to go to PA school then?
