Here is the SITREP:
I am 22 with fours years in the medical field. I am prior military, was a medic (joined at 17), LVN for three years in a cardiac PCU, and am three months away from graduating RN ADN. I love nursing, but I want to do more. I want to be the person to give hope to patients who are sick. I have had my fill of following physician orders, critical thinking, bedside practice, etc. My GPA is NOT good (2.8). I do have most of the sciences left to take before I can graduate. I have worked full time and been in school full time for three years. After I finish RN school, I am starting a position in a CMICU at Ochsner in New Orleans. I will be attending a 4 year university to complete a BS in biology and thereby fulfilling the prerequisites for med school. I have the drive, I have the will power, I have the desire. I want to attend USUHS and be a career military physician. Can it be done?
