Hello, everyone. I'm currently an RN student (ADN) who has decided to pursue Medical School. I've spoken with my Pre-Med advisor and will be able to do all of my Med School pre-reqs while finishing up my RN. I'll graduate with my RN in December 2011. Originally, I was planning on doing my BSN and then applying to med schools, but my advisor (who has been doing this for years and years) has told me to not worry about getting my BSN and to apply for med school right after I finish my RN (so I'll be applying Summer of 2012 after taking my MCAT in the Spring to hopefully matriculate in Fall 2013).
I know most Med Schools can make a decision if you only have 90 hours of undergrad coursework, but they also say that a Bachelor's is recommended. Am I completely shooting myself in the foot if I don't complete my BSN prior to starting med school? (Or for that matter, having plans to complete it when I begin the MD application process?) I would just hate to be misinformed and have it end up costing me even more time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
