: : : How do you chose your profession or future profession? What influenced your decision? Did you have any career counciling to help you make your decision?
: : I chose my profession kind of by accident, kind of by hear-say. I always wanted to be in the health profession, but not a nurse. My first choice was to be a Physical Therapist, but due to a really long story that involved a "guidence counselor" that didn't take care of my application as he was supposed to, I ended up staying locally and found the Radiology Program offered near by. I wish I would have had some kind of career counseling out of curiosity to see if I would be where I am today.
: would you rather be a nurse instead.
No, I still don't think so. The only regret I have about my profession is the limitations of where I can work. In nursing there are a lot more opportunities outside of the walls of a hospital, clinic, or Dr. office like Home Health etc.
