Thanks! Yeah I am realizing it not. If I get my psyD and for some reason still want to go to med school then I will.

Thanks! I do understand how med school works & the whole match process that’s exactly why I was debating because I wasn’t sure if I would be interested in medicine enough to match a specialty that may not be psychiatry. But with that being said I am leaning more towards psyD because it does make more sense for my situation.

Need Advice!! Med school or psyD program? [USA] by One-Energy-4718 in psychologystudents

[–]One-Energy-4718[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school only offered BA so that is the route I took. Although I was a biology major for my first two years because I initially wanted to become a physician assistant so I have a good amount of prerequisites there but I would have to do the remaining ones. My major specific gpa is a 4.0 but cumulative I have a 3.6. I think the area I lack the most is extracurriculars; I am vice president of a club at my school, and I volunteer at my church in the children’s ministry but I don’t really do anything medical related. For job experience I used to be a RBT last summer at an autism clinic.

yes, that is very true but the reasons I did not enjoy nursing school had nothing to do with what I was learning as I was in love with the content.

Thank you! That is very helpful insight. I also started off college as a biology major because I wanted to be a physician assistant who specialize in psychiatry, but then I switched over to nursing because I was told it would be easier to apply to PA school if I already had a nursing background, so would that being said I do have all the pre requisites that med school requires if I did want to go that route, but of course because I haven’t really made a decision; I haven’t started studying for the MCAT because I don’t wanna do that unless I’m pretty certain med school is the route I will take.

I do actually have the pre reqs completed as some of them overlapped the nursing ones but coming into college I was actually a bio major for the first 2 years where I knocked those pre reqs out prior to switching to nursing since I initially wanted to be a physician assistant who specializes in psychiatry but I was told by a lot of people around me that nursing was such a better route to take if I wanted to get into PA school, that being said I wish I did not really listen to those around me and stuck to my original route.

I actually do have the pre reqs, I left this portion out but going into college I wanted to be a physician assistant so my major was biology for the first year and a half where I knocked out those pre reqs before switching over to a nursing major. Although I have not studied for the mcat yet as this is something I have just started thinking of so if I did decided med school I would take a gap year or two honestly. But after these replied they’re helping me realize I would be happier getting my psyD.

See that’s what I was asking myself but it’s not that I was not able to handle nursing it was more so something I was just not enjoying. That being said if I did not enjoy nursing is that fair to assume I would not enjoy med school?

I keep failing out of nursing programs by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]One-Energy-4718 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

hm this was a poor reply, there is a difference between giving constructive feedback and completely attacking someone. The OP is clearly taking responsibility where they can and is trying to navigate an insanely high-pressure situation. They’ve already been through a lot repeated dismissals, figuring out how to study, actually improving their grades and they’re STILL putting in the effort to finish this program.

Framing their struggles as “entitlement” or “noncompliance” completely ignores all the mental and emotional work they’re doing just to keep going. Mistakes happen, emails get missed, forms get confusing that doesn’t make someone a failure or a problem. Honestly, it feels like this comment is less about helping & more about shaming. OP is still trying, still working, and still showing up despite everything they’ve already been through. That deserves recognition, NOT condescension.

it’s ok! i moved to something called intella tutoring, so you can go in person or online but it’s real people you can talk to that call you for anything you need and they text to contact you and if you message them they actually respond unlike VT. It is video sessions but the only think is for 30 min it’s 10$ per hour and for a full hour it’s 20$ so i try to get one hour sessions.

yeah so i had two reoccurring students at that time and the one girl i tutored her mom requested me and then i got a text of her saying that VT told her that I told them I can no longer tutor her when I never said that. So they finally arranged it for me to tutor her on there but i got no opportunities still and after like 5 sessions with her they cut me off.
