On 1/18/15, I got into a car accident, and it was one of the scariest things in my life. It opened my eyes to what career I'm getting into. Sitting into that hospital bed, I realized a hospital setting is not where I'd like to work. Hearing the puking, the stroke patients, patients with the flu. I sat there and questioned, am I sure I want to go into the medical field?

Puking is a fear that has always been apart of my life. When I was graduating high school my dream was to become an Ultra sound technician, or a PA (Physicians Assistant) in sports medicine. But when people told me that they see puking quite frequently my career choice changed drastically. Medical, to accounting and business. How does that even make sense? I went to opposite ends of the job spectrum.

When I got told about Bryant & Stratton, I decided I would push everything people told me to the side and do what I have always wanted to do. I guess I have to get past my fear one day, right? While I was in the doctors office waiting to get my cast put on, I talked to a few of the nurses that came in to see what their background was before they worked for Strong Orthopedics.

When I found out that you don't even need a degree to work for Strong as an assistant I was shocked. If you get the position, you go through a 6 week training program, and then you're there. Although a degree is better than not having a degree, it is not necessary.

I guess I should keep going to school and get my degree, than maybe one day I will be able to get started in my dream career, at Strong Orthopedics, and be able to go back to school, and get my college tuition payed for.
