I was just wondering if there are any RN's here that are considering vet school. I had struggled for about a year with considering med school, which I ultimately decided against, and actually got accepted into a graduate nursing program, which I dreaded doing, and consequently withdrew from. I've done some serious soul-searching (for lack of a better term) and have realized that this is the only way I'll ever be happy with what I'm doing.
Anyway, my question is, do ad comms look down on a switch from human--->animal medicine, and what are some obstacles a nurse/career changer would encounter in the pursuit of vet school? I realize I need about 2 years post-bacc (mainly chem and physics), and am completely ready to do that. I took the GRE for the grad nursing and scored decent, but I'll retake it to be more competitive for vet school. I have tons of animal experience, though not directly with a vet.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. My undergrad GPA is 3.58, which I expect to raise by studying my butt off and getting A's in the post-bacc courses.
