I was just curious as to how many of you actually ended up getting grilled about "Why are you leaving nursing to pursue MD/DO" I see so many people saying that "They won't accept you because you chose RN", but I have a hard time believing them, due to:
A) I have a hard time being convinced my a "med student" who has enough time to frequent forums
B) My neighbor sits on an admissions panel and she told me for their institution, it would help, due to prior exposure to the medical field as compared to someone who majored in English and filled pre-req's.
C) I myself know of 4 people I currently work with who went RN to MD within the last 10 years.
So how many of you were denied solely on the reason that "We don't want to take a nurse out of the field". I'm not saying this is not true per se, but I can't find any solid evidence proving it such.
