I am currently in the BSN program, and i am considering maybe in the future of going to medical school. Is it advisable to do my medical prerequisites while doing my Bsn program? Or is there a minor program i can do that offers those medical school's prequisites ?
does anyone know how nurses crossover to being a medical doctor

Based on personal experience, I wouldn't spend the money to take the extra classes unless/until medical school is a certainty, especially if paying for them with loans. If you rule out med school, you would have spent money on unnecessary classes. If you go forward with med school, prerequisites will vary from institution to institution, or change over time, and you may need to repeat them anyway if an institution has a time limit on them.
I would imagine that "crossing over" is just a matter of taking whatever prerequisites are still required for the school that you are trying to get into.
