rn to md

Hi! I wanted some advice on how you all think I should continue with this path as my situation is a bit unique. So in my sophomore year of high-school I chose to pursue an associates degree in Nursing via an Early College program…. even though i always wanted to give medicine a shot. I know...

I just wanted to know if my chances of getting accepted into med school are higher if I went to a CC or a university for the prereqs/premed? I plan to work while studying for the prereqs/premed, how should I maintain my GPA? Given my situation (w/ international degree from the PH) would you...

I have a career dilemma that has been growing heavier and heavier on my mind. As far back as I remember I’ve wanted to be a physician, I come from a very medical family, my mother is an NP while my father is an MD. In college I pursued pre-med, had plenty of shadowing, research projects...

Hello,

I've never posted to SDN before so if I've done something incorrectly or posted in the wrong place or whatnot, please let me know. I'm an RN who is applying to med school in relatively near future. Not super near but.. decently near. I currently have two mutually exclusive opportunities...

I'm interested in studying to become a doctor after 5 years of work experience as an RN. I'm 28 and I have a 3.5-year BSN degree from a European country. I'm also licensed to practice nursing in the US as my European degree was evaluated by the CGFNS and I passed the NCLEX. I'm trying to figure...

Hi everyone! I'm new to SDN. I'm a junior year nursing student and I'm looking for some advice. Okay, a quick lay-down on my life. I've always dreamed of going to med school but I'm going to nursing school because my dad who's actually an OB convinced me NOT to because of finances. I was...

Hello readers, I am a 25 year old RN who had graduated with a 3.1 GPA (in NYC) with a bachelors degree in Nursing. I have worked for 1 year on the job and as I was sort of "free to practice" without the restraints of being a student, now that I am licensed I realize that I should definitely...

Hi everyone! This is my first post and after reading through so many threads I have learned so much from you all! My hope is to have some insight on your experiences and/or what would you do in my circumstance? I am a 28 year old soon to be 29 PICU RN since 2011 and am completing all my medical...

Hi All, I believe I am not one of the rare cases here, but I would like to have your feedback on my route. I graduated class 2017 and while waiting for a hospital job, I work as aesthetic and dermatology nurse. Having exposed to this field, I found my passion in dermatology and skin care...

What's your story? I'm graduating nursing school soon and I'm about to start taking pre-med courses within the next year, but I've found myself needing reassurance because I'm not exactly getting the encouragement I wanted from the majority of friends and family. Even my advisor gave me a hard...

Hello All, I was just curious what people's thoughts were regarding the transition from RN to Med school. Any suggestions for strengthening one's med school application? This post is a bit long-winded, but I'd like to paint the full picture for you all, so stick with me! Just a little history...

I started going to college about 2 1/2 years ago, and chose nursing as my major because I felt that it was the most practical way that I could help people while earning a decent paycheck. At the time I had never taken a biology or chemistry class, and really had no clue of what to expect. I...

Hello all, I know I possibly should have posted this in the pre-med section but felt I may have a better response in the medical posts....A little background on me: I'm a 23 year old female, currently an RN in NYC, I have been working as an RN for a year and 2 months. I currently have my BSN, my...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some insight and advice from PA's/NP's/MD/DO's. I graduated with my BSN in August and have been working as an RN since December (not very long!). I've realized that nursing is not for me, and that I should have stuck to pre-med instead of changing majors in...

Hello there, I am hoping to drink from the knowledge well of this website and ask about Med Schools who seriously consider applicants without the traditional pre-requisites. I am a BSN educated Nurse of 1.5 years with a little research experience, tons of volunteer work, and a GPA of ~3.69...
