Jenn Tran is giving roses to her medical patients these days.
The Bachelor Nation alum, who paused her master’s degree in physician assistant/associate studies to appear in the reality TV franchise last year, has returned to school in Florida.
“I actually just went back to P.A. school a couple weeks ago,” Jenn told People in an interview published April 1. “I now live in Miami—just moved back, saw my first few patients the other day back in the hospital. I’m very excited.”
The 27-year-old—who appeared on Dancing With the Stars in the fall—also noted her return to the Sunshine State has “been incredible,” and she needn’t have worried about her notoriety interfering with her work.
“I was actually really nervous about that,” she continued. “I was like, ‘Oh, what is that gonna be like and how is that gonna affect the provider-patient relationship.’ But the hospitals that I’ve been working at, a lot of them haven’t seen The Bachelor or Bachelorette or Dancing With the Stars."
She added of her patients, “It’s a safe space.”
And while Jenn has been romantically linked with her DWTS partner Sasha Farber since appearing on the dancing competition series, she is adamant about finishing her degree before doing any more reality TV.
“No more hiatuses from P.A. school,” she explained. “I promised my mom. But after P.A. school, we’ll see.”
Though her reality TV stardom may be “taking a back seat,” Jenn has always been committed to her lifelong goal to work in the medical field.

“It's something that I'm so passionate about,” she told People in December. “I've been wanting to study medicine my whole life, and it's just something that feels like I would regret if I didn't finish.”
As for how Jenn’s studies may affect her relationship with Sasha? She isn’t putting any pressure on that question.
"We are taking life one day at a time and we're not in any rush to define anything or put anything out there," she told the outlet in February. "We are just having fun and enjoying the moment that we're in."
