I have now been on the schooling trail for two semesters and this is the third. The class loads are heavier each time, just trying to push my mind. I was told that going to PA school is like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hydrant. That scared me enough to want to expand my mind.
I am diligently working to keep the GPA high, 3.75 or higher is the goal and this time it is looking good for a strong finish.
I was asked to register for classes today and there is such a variety of classes that are available both online, and on the two campuses that are within an hour of my home. The remaining classes I am looking for are Genetics, Microbiology, Organic Chemistry and Anatomy & Physiology.
I cannot believe that the semester is almost over and I am still having fun, although it has been busy. I have to make some quick decisions on courses, it does not look like I should take all these at one time. This would likely be academic suicide, not this guy. I had hoped to finish these by the spring 2011 semester but the intensity is a little scary. Now that I have gotten started, I have registered at three different universities and colleges so that I could take whatever course they offered when I needed it. ECU, ECSU, and College of the Albemarle all offer either online or lecture classes for the many prerequisite classes I need, I have just a couple days to figure it out. Will keep updating information.
My current schedule has been with three classes, medical terminology, nutrition, Anatomy and Physiology with lab. Busy this time, but time is flying by almost over. Still being pulled into work about 20-30 hours a week, it is great to be able to do both but sometimes it is overwhelming.
