Hi all,
I am a 31 yo female (married, no kids) RN. I’ve been working as a nurse in the ED for the past 6 years. Prior to that, I had a biology degree (graduated with a 3.8) and had plans to go to medical school. Took the mcat in 2011 and got a 31. In the middle of applying to school, my mom died of ovarian cancer. My dad struggled with mental health issues and I decided to go to nursing school to get a marketable degree quickly so that I could help my family out.
it’s been so long but I still feel like I have all this regret and sadness at the fact that I didn’t try harder for medical school. I could easily work as an NP, make a good living, and start my family. But I just can’t seem to shake the thought of going back to school. Is this crazy? Or is this something I would even be able to do without retaking a bunch of classes?
Thanks in advance!
