Two weeks and I am lost

Having my hospital internship (FINALLY. After one and half month of waiting) for two weeks, I really enjoy the experience. Well, I don't know if you guys enjoy staying at the hospital working or not but I really enjoy my stay in the hospital. Well, I am having my internship in the pharmacy (obviously my course is Pharmacy) and I really can't explain how I feel in general but right now I feel sad because my internship is about to end next week. 

Due to delay of waiting for my internship, I have a duty of not less than 12 hours which means longer hours on duty but shorter days. As much as I want to stay in the hospital for another week, I can't. School's about to resume in my country. 

Right now, I am still in my tiny bubble, enjoying the last bits of the hospital experience. Since I was young, my mom told me I should take nursing but when I grow up and I end up having no goals for my future. Well, my pre-med course right now just gave me the impression of curiousity that's why I take it. I don't have hesitations about it except "What will happen to me in the future?", "Can I pass the board exam?" and so forth questions of doubt. 

When I was young, whenever I go to my doctor, 'Doctor of Internal Medicine' give me the same curiousity as pharmacy. I told my parents a couple of months ago that I am interested in becoming a doctor but I am doubting on the expense and the span of studying and I feel like I am asking too much for my parents about it.

Well for two weeks, I am lost. There's something inside me that told me I should continue my medicine. I really enjoy working in the hospital, I was never afraid on blood, or whatever except for the surgery. Still there are doubts, I am confuse and I am afraid of many things....

I am a pharmacist by profession but, have to stop work because two kids are in the way. All i can say is, after taking up pharmacy, flooded with all kinds of chemistry and pharma subjects, your decision is to continue your studies to take up masters or medicine. Medicine? 4 years proper and another 4 years of residency. 8 years of intensive study. For Masterals, 2 years is all it takes then work is calling for you..... Goodluck.....FIGHTING !!!

I am lost, too... I'm still a pre-med student. And still, lost on my way. But I think I've established a goal for myself. And From what you've said, I think you have established a goal for yourself, too...

Just don't pay attention to your inner conflicts. Cuz it will only confuse you more. Think less of your doubts and weakness cuz it will bring yourself down. You ARE SOMETHING! You will become A DOCTOR who could heal dozens of patients. Didn't you mention that being in the hospital makes you happy? Why consider the questions that surrounds you, when the answer is right in front of you? =D

HWAITING for us!
