Hi,
I'm planning on going back to school in January, I'm 26 and really never knew what I wanted to do until now, I want to go into the medical field but I'm torn on whether I should go to one school for PTA (physical therapy assistance) or if I should go to another school for nursing. Both programs are 2yrs. The only concern I have w/ nursing is that I'm kind of squimish w/ certain things. I guess my question is what are the pro's and con's to PTA? I love the idea of helping people get better after injury or surgery, like in a sports medicine environment and with nursing I just can't see myself doing task like changing bed pans, etc.
Thanks for any advise!
