I’m about to change your life. If you are thinking of nursing v. medicine and don’t want to be a doctor, consider becoming an CRNA. That’s a nurse anesthetist. They give anesthesia to patients for surgery and other procedures. Nursing then ICU is required then then CRNA program is about two years straight. Its a tough program but a great job. You should call a local hospital and ask if they have CRNAs and ask if you can shadow them for a day. Its an amazing job. I’m a doc and work with them everyday. They can make $100000 to $150000 a year depending on where and how hard they work. They you can post “thanks OhioParent you changed my life”
