I wouldn't have to work as RN its optional. In the program its possible to just get the RN, then start the MSN immediately, finishing the entire program in 2 years.

I wouldn't want to be a PA if they are trying to equate themselves to physicians. But like I said 20 post ago I'm not interest in PA anyway. I've mostly got my mind set on psychNP and AA. I'm leaning more towards psych NP, a well regarded university has a program where you can become a...

No it doesn't indicate interest, I never asked about transfer credits. I never even expressed any interest in applying to PA school. Somebody else bought up transfer credits and I said I don't know why they wouldn't accept them. Like I said I forgot what type of place SDN is, people here are...

Who is demanding transfer credits? I've been away fromSDN for a while so forgot what kinda place this is, especially the premed section. Did I ever say I wanted to apply to PA school? Read the thread, no.

I honestly wish I would have failed it by a lot, it would have hurt less. My first 2 scores were really low then a big jump to 193 missing passing mark of 194 by 1 point.

I have no interest in bedside nursing. I'm thinking about a PMHNP program I could complete in 2 years. Accelerated RN, then accelerated MSN.

Sure, Med school classes are most likely way more in depth than PA, don't know why they wouldn't accept them.

I know why I failed Step 1, and it has nothing to do with intelligence or not being able to understand clinical science, thats easy. It had more to do with not knowing how to study for a test with such an inhuman amount of material on it and remembering it all. I got a 27 on the MCAT, which is...

Thanks for being kind, trying to decide between AA and Psych NP now, every now and then getting back into medicine pops into my head, I usually come to my senses and I usually have the discussion in my head, wanted to see what other people thought. You're right,

MACT was 27, Passed all precinical courses on the first try, a couple of them I barely passed with 70-71%

Okay, so I' gong to have to take on more debt anyway, because I'm going go to at least get a masters in something else, hopefully, an Anesthesia Assistant program. This is the first time applying to med school has crossed my mind since I've been dismissed and it was probably just the stress...

You can look at my post history, I have a fulltime job, no time to troll.

I'm from Mississippi and went to Southern Miss in Hattiesburg. I was originally enrolled in a MD school but was dismissed for Failing Step 1 by one point. I've heard from people that have taken both Step 1 and COMLEX 1 that Step 1 is harder so I might have a chance at passing the COMLEX. I...

I have a question, how emotionally draining is it dealing with psych patients? For psychiatrist I imagine it wouldn't be that draining if you mostly deal with med management.

Not knowing exactly what I want is the thing that causes me the most anxiety. From age 18, all I wanted to do was get into med school and become a physician. The specialties I'm most interested in are psychiatry and anesthesiology. If I could think of a dream job, it would be one where I could...
