Be a paramedic OP, then you can read and relate to depressing books like Black Flies and Bringing Out The Dead.

There's an EMT program at the local community college. I was thinking of doing phlebotomy and pharmacy tech certifications before moving on to nursing due to the pre-reqs and waiting list, however, I will also bear the paramedic certification program in mind. Thanks for the reading suggestions too. I need all of the mental preparation I can get for this field.

The Plague by Camus

Ooo... a French existentialist novel.
This is right up my alley.
Thank you!

isn't nursing over saturated? i think 90% of community college students are now on the nursing track, i mean the baby boomers are gonna die off in the next ten years or so and then who are you gonna nurse?

I actually worry about that. I noticed the same thing with the phlebotomy program. The schools are churning out too many phlebotomists. My plan was to go into nursing or something so I can pay out of pocket for degree in pharmacology. Idk. Regardless, the EMT idea is very good. What would you suggest I go into? I'm not sure which fields are less saturated and competitive.

Heres a question.
Are Camus novels better in French or in English?
Je peux lire les deux, mais je voudrais savoir.

The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain

My mom recommended it, and she's a nurse (with an avid interest in nutrition). It's cool. It involves a lot of anthropology and evolutionary biology, and it's extremely insightful.

Excellent! Thank you so much.
I will definitely add it to my reading list.

En Français, évidemment.

Je crois que tu devrais toujours esssayer de lire une oeuvre dans la langue qu'elle a été écrite. Camus est facile à lire, de toute façon.
