I'm a first year student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Currently I am a biology major with pre-med intent but i am finding my heart just isn't in biology. I have shadowed a nurse practitioner for a pediatric office before and I absolutely loved it. I know the medical field is where I want to be but I'm not sure how to get there. I have recently though about applying for the nursing school at the end of my sophomore year. I have done some research and read that most medical schools look down on students who major in nursing then apply straight to medical school. What would their view be if I worked as a nurse for 2 or 3 years, saved some money, gained some life/clinical experience, and then applied for medical school? I would really love some input on this! I feel like I would love working as a nurse but I don't want nursing to prevent me from being accepted at a medical school.
