SoO, the first thing everyone always notices first is the name, so I'll explain :)
A PA-S is a Physician Assistant-Student. And I go to NSU, whose mascot is the Sharks.
I am a PA-S1, for about twelve months, when I will then become a PA-AD (Advanced Didactic) and then I will graduate, take the PANCE (certification exam) and become a PA-C (certified!!!!)
Cute, yeah?? LoL.
I decided to write a blog about being a PA student. This was the first day, so who knows how much I'll actually blog, but I'm going to try :)
Today was orientation. We met at a Holiday Inn with the other students and their families and were introduced to the faculty. Later in the day we met back up at school, where the family took a tour and the students then met for a few hours, introducing ourselves and being given our first project: to present a public service announcement on what a PA is. My group is doing a skit. It's kinda cute.
The rest of this week brings on some more orientation and then real classes being on Monday. Bring it on!
