Med School just a dream?

Asked by travelbabe24 (262) February 28th, 2016 from iPhone

So today I just dropped my physics class. I spent hours studying, tons of money on tutors, practice, and I still could not get it.

I need physics for med school, but now I’m so discouraged. I’m sitting with a 3.94GPA but I have yet to take organic chemistry and now both physics classes.

My dream has been to be an infectious disease specialist for years now. I LOVE learning about microbiology and physiology and infectious disease. Ive done volunteer work overseas in under developed countries- and I’ve seen many rare cases of parasites and diseases. Those trips have been so motivating and inspiring. I’ve worked my butt off to get where I am now. But now it seems as though my dream as vanished right before my eyes. I don’t understand physics!

I start nursing school in June (I have a whole other question on this so if you are curious as to why I’m doing nursing, read that question). After nursing school my plan was to work a couple years while taking organic chemistry, and then apply to med school. Now I have to stack physics on top of that….

Now I have three choices. Work as a nurse, work as a NP (which can’t specialize in infectious disease), or try physics and organic on top of working as a nurse.

Do you all have any advice at all? Or just words of comfort! Thanks!
