I'm not negative. There are AA's out there that have told me what to do. They have told me that there are anesthesia techs that get on the job training.
That being said, here is what I want to do. Bash me if you like, but I think this is an ok idea.
I have an offer to become a surgical assistant and an oral surgery facility. Not only do I get anesthesia observation experience (I have normal hospital experience as well, and will continue those observations as well), but it will be a job I get paid for. I understand how important the volunteer experience and how good that is, but at the same time that does not help with paying off my undergraduate loans. I have taken that financial responsibility and must follow up on it. So I think this job is a perfect fit. It is not something I want to do for the rest of my life, but I think it is the best of both worlds. Secondly, I will take the MCAT, and retake the GRE. Third, I may retake classes that I think I should retake (OChem 2 owned me).
With all that being said, I really really want to get in. I am not negative about not getting in. I am not salty or any of that at all. I am looking forward to this next year.
