Was in the same building as nursing and ~300 students walk out of each classroom

Seems like a lot of competition, so idk what the job market is looking like

hospital may have a few hundred RNs working on a single shift, and then you need someone to cover nights as well. multiple hospitals in a city all doing the same thing, it adds up

There is plentiful jobs for every field I listed. Nurses, believe it or not are in HIGH demand.. And specialty nurses are even more sought after

There's only 1 school in the USA that has a bridge program from PT to DPT..

I'm going to spend next week shadowing each profession to see which one I like.


Confused with what you mean here. Are you saying PTA to DPT?

My program is a 4 year exercise science program where you get a bachelors and then 3 years of the DPT program.

You can decide to opt out of the bachelors and do 3 years of exercise science and then the 3 years of the DPT program.

Also remember that there are hundreds of different jobs that have the same schooling. You can get your DPT and be in a hospital, clinic, etc. Same with a nurse in the sense of that you can work in different areas of the hospital and stuff like that.

Don't shadow one time and think that the profession isn't what you thought it was.
