Pre pa school
OK, I need some advice. I really want to go to PA school. I’m 24 and just turned 24 this year. I’ll finally be finishing my associate’s degree next semester. I started college later because I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I graduated during the COVID year, I had to start working instead of going straight to school. Looking back, I’m actually glad because I probably wouldn’t have chosen healthcare otherwise.
Right now, I really want to move out of my parents’ house, but I also have at least two more years to earn my bachelor’s degree before I can apply to PA school. I’m currently working as a medical assistant in cardiology, I need more financial income and I’m trying to figure out the best path forward. I’ve been thinking about going into nursing so I could have a stable career while finishing my bachelor’s degree and completing the remaining prerequisites for PA school. Does that sound like a good idea, or would you recommend a different path?
