Day to Day
On a typical day, I wake up roughly about 7 am every day and get ready for the day. I go to morning classes either online or in person on certain days. On days that I work mostly in the afternoon, I go to work, clock in and check in with co-workers, and then on patients. I check vitals and take blood sometimes. After, I do some charting. I do a lot of walking and I stay hydrated all day because it's important.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
I recommend trying as best as you can in high school so that you can apply for scholarships when you go to college. That way, you won't have to take out any loans for your first year.
