Health Care

I am going to be getting my degree in Anthropology next year, but my GPA will be at the most, a 3.1. I would really like to pursue nursing, but I have heard that BSN programs are really tough to get into with my GPA.

Are there any BSN programs that are more lenient with their requirements? I have heard that private schools are generally easier to get into the nursing program. Also, as an alternative, could I go to a community college to get my RN and then transfer to a RN-to-BSN program?

I just finished a program to become a pharmacy technician and am about to start looking for employment as one. I don't know If I should try to work at a smaller family owned pharmacy or a store like walgreens or cvs?
What would be the pros and cons of each?
Also what kind of clothing would be appropriate for this kind of job? I'm a 19 year old guy.

Any relevant advice appreciated.

Need help deciding which of these 2 careers to pursue. Please give me your opinions. I have a family with young children so that is a major deciding factor for me in terms of which would be best for my family. Here is what I know so far:

Dental Hygiene
PROS- days, no nights or weekends; great starting pay; only about 2 year program; clinicals for the two years are only 1-2 days a week for only about 4 hrs which is doable
CONS- Can only work day shift, no options for working nights or weekends if needed, may be hard to find full-time employment and medical benefits; hygienists suffer from back and neck problems and carpal tunnel

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
PROS- can work any time, day/night/weekend, good starting pay, usually have medical benefits
CONS- Longer school, about 3 yrs, the first 2 for x-ray tech and the 3rd for sonography; clinicals are 40 hour weeks for 3yrs which is like a fulltime job for 3 yrs and I don't know if I can handle it or if it will be worth it.

I've been considering going into either massage therapy or nursing when I graduate from high school, but I've heard some negatives for both jobs. For example, massage therapy can be physically demanding and can cause carpotunnel.

But with nursing, the hours are hard, and its physically and mentally exhausting.

What to people who have, or experienced, these carreers think about them?

My mother, who has no expeience in the field, insists that it matters if I have a Bachelor's V.S. an Associate degree in Radiology. Is there a pay increase for a Bachelor's degree? Also, how do you get certified to be a MRI Technologist?

I'm considering becoming a physicians assistant but I've always wanted to be a pediatric nurse because I love working with kids. So is there a special major I need to take to specialize in children or would I just work at a childrens hospital or something...I'm also debating whether to be a physicians assitant or RN so any tips on that would be great!!
