hmm. if the general associate's degree thing at UALR is a bad plan by itself...why not knock out a few pre-reqs to a UAMS program at the same time, and then go into some health related field other than nursing? their college of health related professions includes dental hygiene (no), diagnostic medical sonography (maybe, but not much in the way of job openings) genetic counseling (which just sounds cool but is a masters program so never mind) health information management (boring but secure), medical dosimetry (looks fun, basically you help the people aim medical radiation with computers), medical technology (also looks fun, don't drop the AIDS!), nuclear medicine (maybe), nuclear medicine imaging sciences (kinda fun in a "I wasn't using my irradiated sperm anyway" sort of way), opthalmic technologist (*yawn*), radition therapy (also cool, also a bit afraid to sit in a room with a giant radiation machine), radiologic imaging sciences (quick, I already have the pre-reqs, and would be secure and comfortable), respiratory care (maybe, not sure if respiratory therapist), or surgical technology (no.)
we shall see.
