Non traditional here, RN. Studying SN2 method for mcat. I have a 10 month old and I feel like all of my free time goes to studying. Is this a good feel of what my future will be like? Its making me feel extremely down and miserable that I dont get to spend the amount of time id like to with him.
I am currently getting slaughtered on the TBR chapter of equilibrium/solubility and feel like an idiot/not absorbing concepts. Despite the fact I did pretty decent in gen chem (albeit its been 2 years almost since gen chem 1).
There is no doubt in my mind that being a physician is the profession for me. Ive considered and shadowed extensively with CRNA's/NP's/PA's and MD's as well as listened to advice from numerous healthcare workers.
But is the sacrifice too great? My wife is an RN as well and I have her utmost support. I just feel so much pressure to perform on the MCAT (I feel like im not doing well studywise) while simultaneously missing out with my son and it all feels like a waste.
Sorry I know this is really scattered. But I would appreciate any thoughts.
