[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a 35 year old who did a post-bacc at 29 and did not matriculate, I say do this, do this, do this, do this.  Don't wait.  Just do it.  Don't look back.

Well, maybe get some exposure to medicine in a research capacity or as a medical assistant or something, but don't look back.  Just jump.

I wish I had.[/quote]

Why didn't you end up martriculating?[/quote]

In mee school, I mean. Because I got pregnant with #1 and the cost of med school (detailed above quite well) scared me off. I have two prior masters degrees and debt to match.

I'm now considering np programs. I was considering pa programs until I heard it described as a resident forever! That sounds terrible![/quote]

I'm the pp who said DH said PAs are like forever residents. I didn't mean this in a bad way. DH is a specialized surgeon and he needs a second pair of hands, usually a resident. The PA is just like a resident who assists with the surgery. They are paid well ($100k+) and depending on how competent they are, assist with most of the surgery.[/quote]
