All,
I am presenting research at Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in San Francisco May 1-4. (3 poster presentations).
I also did a oral presetation at the National American Academy of Pediatrics meeting in New Orleans in November 2003. In addition, I will present at the National Head Start meeting in DC in June.
As many of you know, I did one year of full time volunteer clinical research ,which is ongoing, before returning to my full time PNP position. I am 2 years behind my original time line for applying to med school after deciding not to begin a formal post bacc program. Now DIY with tuition reimbursement. However, the research experience has been great. I had the opportunity to do presntations both locally and nationally. I hope to have 5-6 publications 
I would encourage anyone who has an opportunity to do research to seize it! Of course, my interest is clincial research, but I am sure bench research is ok too (LOL)

That is great experience that you are gaining. It is good to have your research experience, and possibly publications when applying; added padding for your applications!
