I'm confused, what exactly is a PAP smear for? How often should you get one? Do you have to be sexually active to get one?

I will be going to my local community college in January to earn my A.A.S. in Respiratory Care.

The program I'll be doing is a 5 semester 72-74 credit hours and it is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) education.

My question is where can I go with this degree, should I go straight into the workforce or transfer to a 4 year and continue on to earn a baccalaureate or graduate degree?

What type of jobs and or pay would I be looking at with just the A.A.S, versus a Baccalaureate or grad degree?

I will be meeting with an adviser in November to discuss all this but would like to start thinking on this now.

I don't know what to say, I went to the school Health center. Then the nurse prick my finger and told me that I have anemia. But then I went to the Family doctor and she said that my blood was okay. That I dont have anemia. She told me that i have hypoglycemia. The nurse told me that I don't have hypoglycemia. I don't know what to believe. Sorry about my writings. The symptoms I felt was dizzy all the time, and weak everyday. It's been a month now. I'm really tired. Don't know what to believe. Any suggestions.

First off, I will say I am under the care of my PCP and awaiting the results of an Echo. I am 31, male, not overweight, cholestoral is good, but blood pressure is borderline high, and family history of heart conditions. I will describe what I experience....

It only happens when I am doing something active like playing catch with my kids, playing football, or just anything active. I will have a little episode where my heart starts pounding super fast and my chest hurts, I get a little short of breath, and my eyes start to get black in my peripheral vison and it closes in like I will pass out.....I just kind of ignore it and walk it off with my arms above my head and take deep breaths until it goes away, which is usually only a minute or two at the most.......this has actually been going on for about 10 years and I just finally told my doctor and my wife. Like I said I am still waiting on the official word from my doc. Its been 1 week since my echo and no word......any thoughts?

My son has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was in elementary and have gotten alot of help from his specialist. Just last week, in Gr 10, got caught after stealing $400.00 from a child's locker. He returned all the money except the $30.00 he spent. Now he is expelled from school and might be charged. I was talking to the constable from the school today and was trying to explain about his ADHD and most likely his impulsiveness had something to do with what he did, but he didn't seem to understand that. I have a dr's app't for him in 2 days and then have a meeting at his school to find another school for him. Then I have to go talk to the constable. It seems that no one is on his side and not understanding that he has mental problems stemming from his ADHD. I know he needs help, that is why I made a dr's app't for him to see what help we can get for him. I don't want him charged, what else can I do to convince them not to. Being charged would harm him more than help.
