So after almost 21 years of, "going with the flow," I am changing something drastically.
well, not super drastically. Whenever I say drastically people are disappointed by the actual news.
It's just drastic to me.
I am 100% sure I am pursuing a medical doctorate.
I have thought it over, and found the perfect career for me. A pathologist. It combines my love of pathophysiology and desire to not have patients.
My main problem with nursing is that I LOVE the science behind it, I love knowing how the body works, and how to treat things, etc. However, I hate the bedside, and all other nursing careers aren't really what I'm looking for either. I love the science, but I hate following orders and not being the one to totally implement the science.
Being a pathologist means working in a hospital basically diagnosing biopsies, and other labs, all day.
It's 14+ years of school.
4 undergrad. 4 med. 5+ years of specialized training in pathology.
I am only writing this so one day when I am in hell with tests and whatever, I can look back on this and remember that is what I want to do.
