In a perfect world....

The more I think about missing the opportunity to become a PA because of the whole "what if a baby thing" the more I want to go ahead and do it now. I honestly don't know 100% what I want to "do" with my life, but I keep coming back to this option. I like medicine...I like science....I like being able to fix people....I don't want to spend 4 years at med school...it makes sense. I have already missed the cut off date to start in Fall of 08, so I would have to wait until Fall of 09 to start my program. That's cool though because I can spend the next year or so shadowing other PA's and getting back involved in the clinical side of medicine, oh and in a perfect world I would get KU'd in the next six to eight months so I can have my cake and eat it too. =P

I really think you should go for it Katie. You'd be a great PA!

I'd definately say go for it. What's the worst that could happen? You do your shadowing for a year, start the program, finish the program, get a degree you really want--great! And if you get pregnant between now and then--then that's great too! It sounds like a win-win situation, which doesn't come along very often.
