My possible future..
Wow.. so mad crazy stuff, yo.
If those of you aren't in the loop and have vaguely heard me discussing med school here and there here's the situation.
I want to become either a Polysomnographic Technician ( sleep technician ) or a Gynocological Nurse Practitioner ( A nurse practitioner is one step below a doctor. They can do pretty much everything a doctor can except prescribe certain meds. )
So I was at work today, bored as crap, and begun browsing the net looking for school where I can start my medical training.
I've, after much thinking and realizing I am just much too afraid of needles to become an NP at this point, decided to become a Polysomnographic Tech.
I can always become an NP later.
I was browsing and browsing and not finding anything in the way of schooling or anything other than a sleep technician school in Atlanta. Bump that noise. too far.
In a spark of inspiration I decided to call Bay Sleep, which is the clinic Loren stayed at and that I stayed at with him when he was tested for and later diagnosed with apnea ( really deadly sleep disorder where you stop breathing when you sleep ).
I found out by calling them that to become a Sleep Tech it's actually a hands-on training program that you do for 2 years. After 2 years you become licensed and can actually work anywhere you'd like or continue schooling, etc.
And as it turns out, Bay Sleep is hiring!
So the lady I talked to told me to send in some information about myself as well as my resume and we'd see if we could work something out!!!
So I sent in my resume and I may be becoming a Polysomnographic Technician faster than I had originally thought!! YAYYYYY!!!
If not, there's always selling cars and going to DVC and pursuing something else at a later time.

If you do become a NP some day, whenever that day may be... please be nice to the poor, confused nursing students you come across, be nice, patient and helpful... Don't be mean, degrading and make them cry!
Thanks :)
Good luck on your application process
