I'm currently trying to earn my Bachelor's and finish up my pre-reqs so I can apply to the PA program eventually (I decided that I don't want to pursue pharmacy anymore, which was my initial plan). I plan on shadowing some PAs this summer...
However, the only HCE I have is working as an Aide in a Physical Therapy practice. My school said that this does count...
However, I really wanted to become a Medical Assistant, since it seems a bit more appropriate considering I'm going into a PA program and not a PT program. I'm 21 years old and going to school full-time and also have a part-time job as a Pharmacy Technician at CVS.
Considering it takes almost 2 years to become a Medical Assistant, I'm just so lost on how I'm supposed to balance out taking my pre-reqs/getting my Bachelor's, become a Medical Assistant, and working my part-time job so I have some money in my pocket while in school. I don't want anything to affect my main schoolwork and hurt my GPA.
Any advice is appreciated...
