soo i live in texas and i'm going to be a pediatric nurse practioner when i grow up. (just a pediatric nurse and the practioner part means i can write prescriptions too) well i have 7 classes a day and im making 5 a's and 2 b's
well to make up for my b's i plan on getting A LOT of volunteer work. well what im trying to get to is do i first go to UT college (for how many years?) AND THEN go to like UTMB?? (for how many years?) because my dad said i just go straight to medical school but that doesn't sound right? so yea im getting pretty confused
and also could you give me as much information as possible about being a Pediatric Nurse Practioner.
(how much i would make in a year etc.)
Additional info, added Friday October 16 2009, 5:25 pm: oh and since i'll be writing presriptions,
i took latin 1 this year and my question is:
should i take latin 2 and then spanish 1
or
spanish 1 and then spanish 2?
