Hi Guys i just turned 24 last month, and i have been seriously contemplating on a career in medicine, i graduated HS in 2008 and i decided to opt out of college and get a feel for life and what it has to offer me. I have took-en 1 class at a community college and dropped out of it, my HS years weren't so great i did just enough to get by, graduated with a 1.9 GPA ive always had a passion for medicine its always been at the back of my mind and you always have those what if thoughts, so after some gruesome thinking and evaluating my life i think im ready to pursue my new career in medicine i have pretty muche did my fair share of research on what its gonna take and what im getting myself into im not fully aware of it all because some things come with experience but i am ready for what life as an md has to bring.
But first things first is getting there i wanted to go the nursing route get my bachelors in nursing and then go on to med school, but i guess my ? is what would be the best way to do it? i know the process but i haven't met anyone that's has been through it so im at a lost for advice. i have numerous questions that im hoping somebody can help shine light on.
Would it be smart to go that route? i wanted to do it that way for a bit of experience first, also im from Florida and unless you have a decent GPA the university's are crossed of the list, so i recently applied to MDC (community college) there's no Pre-med so would nursing be my next option or would it be best to just take the classes that are required for the Pre Reqs? I kno im asking alot and i may be jumping the gun but i just needed some answers.
Thanks again, Everyone
