Hi there. I'm currently a freshman biology major, and aspire to become a Physician Assistant. I've been doing a lot of research, and have come across things such as the pre-reqs required for PA school as well as the healthcare experience. I also started thinking that maybe I should switch to a BSN rather than my B.S. in biology track I'm on right now. My reasoning behind this is because I would be able to gain healthcare experience as a RN after undergrad if I am unable to gain enough experience during my time in school. Also, with the biology degree, the only careers I would be able to get are in research and lab work, which doesn't interest me at all. I would be fine with doing the work of a RN, since I do enjoy helping others and being in a healthcare setting. So I was just wondering, what would you guys say? Should I continue on my path of pursuing the B.S. in biology while completing pre-reqs and gaining HCE in other ways (CNA, EMT, etc.), then going into PA school? Or should I consider switching to a BSN and completing pre-reqs? I'm torn between what I should pursue as an undergrad major at this point, but I do know my ultimate goal is to get into a PA program.
