A bit about me first; I am currently a microbiology major at a University of Wisconsin college and I have chosen the pre-medical path due to my love for problem solving, biology, altruism, and humanity. I've always wanted to be a knowledgeable person with abilities to help others in need... I am after all lucky enough to be a healthy able person (or so I think).
I love what I do in undergrad currently and have maintained about a ~3.9 with my following semester (beginning Monday) consisting of Physics 2 and Orgo 1.
I am an ER scribe and have been for ~1.5 years, and through this I have learned a plethora of clinical information, gaining much knowledge on the nature of many medical conditions.
Now although I do love studying biology/sciences currently, I do not want to work in a research setting if all else fails when attempting to achieve medical school/PA school acceptance; I want to work in a clinical setting and experience the joy of meeting with and treating patients!
Being realistic, I would need to arrange a plan B () and I am posting this thread to receive suggestions on choosing the RN path as a plan B. Would it be suggested that I double major, or just enroll into the RN program if all does not go well with my MCAT and med school apps/interviews?
Thank you fellow internet surfers!
