<p>PA is actually a really good field to look into. In the next decade or so, it's going to be one of the highest demand jobs out there. Much higher than the demand for actual MDs. Nursing is a good one too - insane demand right now, and the salary is going up (especially if you go into the higher levels of nursing). </p>
<p>Try these bachelor programs for PA: Quinnipiac, GWU, Butler, St. John's (NY), USC, Washington.
And these for nursing: James Madison, FSU, Purdue, Rochester, Ohio U, Villanova, Delaware, McGill, Washington...there are tons of RN programs out there, actually. </p>
<p>And some of these could actually be safeties for you, so there could be potential merit aid on top of it all. Good luck!</p>
