I've been wondering if anyone is preparing themselves for this. Like are you reading Medical books or mags. I don't really know too much about the medical field, I just though tthat this would be a great expiererence. Is there anyway to prepare myself?

Sorry this is so long to.

it says in the packet to look at the web sites that they give you but there isnt much to look at soo im not really doing anything i guess.... that kinda sounds bad lol but owell i dont really know anything either....

Thanks! That's good to hear. I was just nervous that I was going to be like dumbfounded going into it. But to hear that you yourself didn't prepare much, then most likely other kids didn't either. Thank you!

Wow. I thought that I was going to be the only person that didn't know EVERYTHING about medicine. This is such a relief!

yep im pretty much clueless! glad i could make you guys feel better!!!

It is a huuge relief! Haha. I was just interested in the medical field and when I got invited to go to this expierence I was just like ok cool. So, I'm very glade to know I'm not the only one that isn't a medical genius already. Hah.

Just reading this convo has made me a little more confident. I thought we needed to be walking textbooks so it's great that there is less pressure.

i know like nothing about the medical field and im glad that you guys dont either lol but im juss talking to my doctor cuz i cant stand researching when i dont know what to research

I'm so glad to hear this. I'm really nervous and reading this made me feel soo much better.

I'm so glade this conversation is making everyone feel better!

wow I can't believe that almost no one knows anything about the medical field do any of you have health science technology (hst) classes at your schools? you get to go to a hospital or local doctors office in the second one. It is pretty fun and I learned a lot you guys should ask your counselors

really schools have that?
thats freaking awesome
my school sucks
i've been studying medicine for a long time
just because it amazes me so much

no we definately dont have any of those classes that kinda sucks.. i really wish we did now that would be really awaesome

Yea my school doesn't have anything like that either. Haha. But that would be ah-mazing if we actually did! (:

my school has a Health Occupations class. I guess im pretty lucky cuz ill get to graduate high school with my CNA because of it. u guys should see about online classes tho to make up for what isnt offered at ur school

well we have a health occupations class that i could take next year and my senior year but it takes most of your day and you cant really take any other classes so i decided to just go academic cuz i can take alot more science and stuff that way

What is a Health Occupations class? My school doesn't have anything like that.

its a class where at my school your in it for four periods a day for your junior and senior year.... the first year of class you learn like CPR and all this other medical stuff and then your senior year like three months into the year at my school you get your STNA and get to go to work the last part of the day instead of going to school it takes up alot of time but i mean its really good for people who are thinking of going into the medical field but at my school the people who go into those programs just dont want to have to take regular classes

Oh I see. Yea they don't have anything like that in my school. That would be real cool if they did. We have a tech school. But I'm not sure if there is anything medical in there. Hah.

well we have health occupations and we have like eight other different fields like that that you can go into. lol.... so what session are you going to ?
