DizzyJ Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Oooh...Can I change my answer to veterinarian? I think I might like animals more than people sometimes... I totally wanted to be a vet over a PA. Got into PA school first try. Didn't get into vet school first try. Ehh! I'm still happy doing what I'm doing.

mackjacks Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If it were because I couldn't handle the academics: stand up comedian/actress with elementary school art teacher as a fallback plan. If it were because of a physical disability: get a PhD in physiology and teach. I'd also mentor Pre-health students and help with their apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armymommax2 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I would be a Respiratory Therapist...which I have been for the past 20 years.....until I decided to be a PA. In 2 years, PA-C will be after my name...instead of RRT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Go back to riding the big red trucks and ambulances. Drive more, hump hose less, continue to perfect my firehouse cooking. Ultimately switch from being a part-time medic instructor to full-time medic instructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armymommax2 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 keep em both on your nametag for a bit of st. credarmymommax2, pa-c, rrt Thank you for posting this....I was hoping it would be okay to keep my RT credentials. I am very proud to be an RT. I am also very proud to have been a part of the professions progression of being thought of as mere "Ventolin Jockies." No one really appreciated us (back in the day) except the COPD patient. ;) The rest were usually coding or on a vent and didn't know who was at the head of the bed trying to save their lives.....Again Thank you for validating how I wanted my name tag to read. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
