As a high school senior not knowing what path to take...your videos have been so helpful!! Ahhhh thank u

[evanjackson]

Very much looking forward to the PT vs OT video! I just finished my first year as a pre-PT student and am debating between PT and OT. Great videos, keep it up!

[averagejoe]

Your channel is amazing for aspiring healthcare professionals like myself!! Thank you so much for making this quality content

If you’re considering the nursing route you can get your associates degree and many of the healthcare organizations will pay you to complete your bachelors. Having your nursing degree allows you to work in hospitals, clinics, schools, etc. There’s opportunities where you’re not a bedside nurse or have minimal to no interaction with patients.

I am a dental hygienist and love my career. Be aware that many of the associate degrees talked about in this video actually are more like a 4 year degree. Many including dental hygiene you must do 2 years of pre-reqs then apply to the program for the 2 year associate degree in desired field.

[alliedtravelcareers]

Great video! There are so many great careers in the healthcare industry that go beyond doctors and nurses!

[hwpqvgi]

I was able to make my dream clearer by watching this video, and it is good that you explain what I do and my salary in detail, and I think it will be useful for everyone who dreams of becoming a medical professional

You don't even need a bachelor's degree to be an RN. You can be an RN after getting an Associate Degree in Nursing and successfully pass the NCLEX.

For anyone interested, there are also jobs in anesthesia as an Anesthesiologist Assistant. It is similar to being a Physician assistant for anesthesia.

[roserichards]

Tears…thank you so much for making this video. You were sent by an angel my way to help me decide on my future. God bless

[danwoods]

Been a RN x 31 years . Also flexible for different jobs as we get older that are easier on the body as well. I’m a RN Case Manager.

I love your humor ;)
I was thinking of being an ocupacional therapist

Registered nurses needs a minimum of associate degree. I started my RN with associates degree. I am now a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Majority of my colleagues make over $200k yearly because here in California there is a shortage of psychiatric provider. Also as an NP, you are allowed to open your own practice. I currently have my own telepsychiatry clinic. Even before the pandemic, telepsychiatry was becoming the norm. Now with covid, the need for telepsych providers exploded. Almost all insurances now pay for virtual visit. You can work anywhere you want as long as you have computer and internet. :)

[craigsang]

youre a God bless bro, thank you so much for your contribution, and thoughts

[carmenwyoming]

Great thought provoking questions, thanks for the great video!

It’s so interesting to see the American requirements, I’ve been deciding between OT & PT, in Australia you can do either a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate just depending on what the uni offers there’s no minimum... I just finished my Bachelors in Health Science & leaning more towards OT because it’s way cheaper & the contact hours are a little less than PT! This was great insight 🤗

Also you can become a Healthcare Assistant (for either OT or PT) with just a Certificate (basically level below Associates degree, associates degree aren’t very popular here) -neither are Doctorate degrees actually but some unis run them to attract international students because of the international requirements haha
