What to do now?
Hey y'all, so I was accepted into the MLT program for this fall, but the eight week accelerated courses were too much, and I needed to drop a couple. Now I won't be able to get into the MLT program until next fall, so what should I do now? I should have the Ivy Tech success course, COMM 102, HLHS 102, ENGL 111, and * hopefully* APHY 101 done by the fall. In the fall I signed up for chemistry 101, math 123, Aphy 102, and PSYC 101 (also only available in 8 week format). I need to be enrolled in school for child care purposes, so should I get phlebotomy certified in the meantime? From what I've learned though, phlebotomy doesn't really matter in an MLT program, and once I graduate from the MLT program I can only earn about $20 an hour where I live right now even with the Phlebotomy cert, so I would have to go back and get my bachelor's somewhere else immediately. Or should I just abandon this path all together, and try to pursue something like Medical imaging? How competitive is the medical imaging program (I'm in Terre Haute)? I have my CNA but I can't work because then my husband will lose his disability, so I wouldn't have a certification to put when applying for the program. I earned an A in English 111, B in HLHS 102, and an A in COMM 102. How likely am I to get into the medical imaging program if I apply right now? Do I have to take the Teas test before I apply? Is there any other program that I can get into in the spring? Any ideas would be helpful
