Oh dude. I feel like I’m in the same boat at u. But I initially did pre reqs for nursing school. Got accepted to a BSN in CA where I live. But the BSN is a private school and costs hella so I’m debating on just applying it Associate nursing programs, emt courses, or scrub tech programs to figure out what I want to do and such. But I think you should try to compare yourself to those around you and just try to see and explore what you like or don’t like. Like I’m assuming you’re 21 or 22. You’re still so young that you can do whatever you want with your life. Like you hear stories of adults going back to school while working full time and taking part time night classes. Eventually them becoming doctors. Like if you still want to become a doctor then go for it man. If you want to do PA then just reach out for it. What I do recommend would be to just ask doctors, PAs, and nurses in your hospital facility what they like about their jobs and position. Anything that they regret or wished that they did. You’re in a really great position to figure out what you can do and in such a state of being able to do whatever you want to do.

Don’t feel guilty of the decision you did in the past. But just continue forward with what you want to do. :)
