Medical Education US

Hello,
I happen to came across this website today and so far i have found it very educative. I am looking forward to have a BS in nursing. Actually, my main focus and goal is to study medicine. Is it possible for me to apply to a medical school after by nursing program?. Thank's melanie.

I'm not sure what is involved in your nursing program. If you complete all of the required pre-med classes, then you can apply to medical school. You may want to consider some alternatives, such as becoming a nurse practioner / clinical nurse specialist.

When you say your goal is to "study medicine" do you mean to become a doctor, or just to learn about the field of medicine?

Hi everyone,
I am aslo face with this problem of nursing and medical school. I don't have enough money to sponsor myself through medical school, so i though it wise that being a nurse first will help me alot in preparing for med school. Also i consider nursing as a backup plan for me in case my admission into med school is not immediate.
However, i have heard that the chances for individuals with a Bs in nursing getting into med school(MD) is to slim. I really want to be a medical doctor and that has been my passion since when i was eight. It is because of my financial situation and that of my family that i am during nusring now. Please, anybody with some advice . I will appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi!

It is good that you want to do BS in nursing but as most of us think that before doing that if you that you undergo formal training in nursing that will help a lot for future.
