I just need to finish my anatomy and physiology credit and then I will have finished all of my prereqs to apply.

I have an A in my first half of a&p, i have an A in every other prerequisite except english, which is an A-.

I've been trying to find a volunteering opportunity for patient care but I'm not having much luck, I don't have a car so I'd have to take public transport. I wouldn't mind taking the hour bus ride but i'm concerned it'll interfere with my classes and it's really inconvenient.

I'm also taking healthcare safety with cpr training over the summer, would this be helpful? I will also be taking an intro to healthcare class. They're prereqs for phlebotomy which I plan on doing if i don't get into my program next year.

Do I have good standing?

EDIT: a- in medical terminology, a in everything else

sorry for the panicked tangent i'm about to go on. I'm aiming to go into radiology tech currently, but i'm fearing i won't get into my program because I can't get hands on volunteering experience. I have all A's and one A- in my prereqs currently, but I don't think my grades will be enough.

I am also looking at nuclear medicine tech (and honestly it's catching my interest more and more) and my college's site says 30 students apply each year and 8-10 are admitted. I'm nervous about the idea of taking physics and chemistry classes, but I finished the first half of my a&p class with an A so i'm trying to be hopeful.

I want so desperately to do practical schooling with hands on experience and to just truly feel like i'm doing something, instead of just taking classes for a bachelor's that don't directly give me a way into an industry. I think I'm in such a rush because I spent a year thinking i was going to be a vet tech. I realized I loved working in a hospital setting, learning to run labs and administering vaccines to pet patients and even just taking medical notes, but being a vet tech just wasn't going to be livable.

What was getting into your program like? Do you have other job recommendations for me?
