So I posted to this forum about a year ago now talking about how I was doubting myself on getting into PT school. Well eventually I decided that I wanted to stay in the PT field but did not want to go to grad school and take the crazy loans out for it. So I decided I wanted to be a PTA, there are no schools for PTA in my area. But due to money I couldn't afford to go this year so I stayed at my local university that I had been taking my pre-PT courses at and decided to transfer into the BSN program.
This is an excellent program (one of the best at the school) and I find that I am doing fairly well in the program but I am struggling with some things. I really feel that I want to be a PTA and be in that field but have heard Nursing makes significantly more money and is a much much better career.
Regardless of all that I still feel that I made the wrong decision not going to PTA school. Everyone I've shadowed in the field has told me how much better Nursing is but part of me is still conflicted.
Any thoughts?
