career choices?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey guys. I graduated with my BA and I didn't have the grades to apply for MD/DO/DMD. I gave PA a shot and got mostly rejections, still waiting on a few schools but I'm sure they will also be rejections. I realized if your not a qualified candidate for medical school than you also won't be for PA school, bad move on my part since I lost a lot of money. I'm considering now DNP as a career choice, my question is which career would you rather choose and why? Would a DNP be as satisfying as an MD? I'm unable to do anything to increase my app for medical school since i already took the pre-reqs, so a post-bacc isn't an option and a masters programs is just too risky. Also how hard is it to get into a graduate nursing program from the BSN level? I don't think i'll be happy if i get stuck at the RN level, although a paying job is better than no job at all.

That should answer your question. Why don't you shadow a PA, a NP, and a RN to see what its like. Why go into a field without doing any research on it or base your decision on what other people tell you.
