I realized my career outlook in plant science was dismal.
I didn't want to work for a private corporation to pay my bills and I was missing the human interaction I love. A lot of my friends are trans and I've seen them struggle through the healthcare system, especially as transwomen. I'd like to be able to provide care for them or be involved in research to improve their care.
I talked to my pre-health advisor at my university and she told me my future could be a mix of psyche and some other specialty. Not totally sure. She seemed to think NP was a good route for me, doing an accelerated BSN and then going on to specialize. I am hesitant to go down this path because of all the smack I've read about NP's on the internet, which sounds silly but I don't really get why its so pervasive.
In your opinion, what track should I be looking at?
Quick and dirty about me
