BSN to Med School?

Published

Hey everyone. Right now I am enrolled into BSN straight out of high school at two different universities. I am not sure whether I will stick with nursing after my 4 years or if I want to pursue my education and become a doctor. One university is focussed on nursing and all the courses are nursing related and I have no time to fit in pre-reqs to prepare for the MCAT which I'll need for med school. The second gives me all options first-year so I can take biology and chemistry and biochemistry and maybe fit in organic in the summer too and that way I can prep for the MCAT in case I decide to apply to med school. The first uni is great for nursing and you start clinical first year but in the second you start hospital stuff 3rd year and it is all theory first 2 years. idk what to choose. I can get more hospital/clinic experience in the 1st uni which will look good on my resume. Any suggestions on what seems the better choice.

I would go with the 2nd option, that way you can take all the classes you need for med school. It sounds like you are undecided in what career path you want to choose, so option 2 would give you the best of both worlds.
