I was considering becoming a CNA but heard that wasn't a good idea. What should I do next? I want to be able to graduate with my Bachelors and apply for PA school asap.

Seriously. Travelling through this site, and seeing fellow future PA students flocking to your guidance. I have been soul searching throughout my HS Junior/Senior/Frosh in College, whether I wanted to pursue PA or MD. I currently a sophomore Dual Biology/Psychology Major, minoring in Human Services in Touro College NYC. What inspires me is not just ability to help patients, or even the autonomy that comes with being a PA. But is the fact that I can be a part of a team, that "cares" for the patient and can "care" for the patient. Another great reason, is the fact that I am able to obtain lots of medical knowledge, and apply it, knowing that someone has my back (The MDs), and when ever the doctors need me, I am there as well. I have great leadership skills, yet life isn't as fulfilling practicing with like minded individuals. My older sisters are PAs. One is a Surgery PA at Columbia Presbyterian. One is a ER PA at Mount Sinai, and One is a ER PA at NY Methodist. I often listen to their stories, about how exciting the field can be, and how much of an positive impact they make in patients lives. Its a noble field. I am not so worried on the interview...I want to make sure I have my pre-reqs in order, my vollie hours, and getting shadow time... I just have to rant, after seeing page after page of awesomeness that is THE PA COACH.... Thanks for the site....Thank you for being there for us students... P.S. Imma holla at you about the platnium special..... email and fb page link is there..... Coach Dave,
