Hello everyone,
Yes, this is another nursing to medical school question. Thanks for reading, and hopefully responding.
This is my second year in nursing, but I feel like it is not as challenging as I want it to be. I have a 3.98 in all my classes. I have taken General Chemistry I & II and Bio I, and received A's in all the classes. When I finish Nursing, I will have around 1,200 clinical hours and 200+ volunteering hours at a local hospital. I tutor for general chemistry also at my college.
After long thought, I know for certain that I want to continue my education after graduation, but am unsure if I want to be a physician or NP. If I had the money I certainly would switch majors to nursing to biology/chem, because I have more of an interest in these areas. Unfortunately, I feel like it would be much cheaper to finish my nursing degree and take the prerequisites for medicine (maybe during the summer?). However, I (or my parents) would be able to fund my graduate education.
So my question is: What is your opinion on the path I should take? Should I finish nursing and take the prerequisites for med school during the summers? Or, am I just completely crazy and should just stick to nursing?
Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
