Do they really look down on you...

...if you go to med. school?

as of now I plan on applying to osteopathic med. schools when I am 25 (I am 20 now). I have heard from a few people that other nurses and medical professionals look down on you if you go to med. school after becoming a nurse.

Is this true?

Do you care?

Lot's of people think I'm an abomination because I'm gay. I've long given up caring what people think of me. It's none of my business what they think.

How dare they...:madface::no:!!!! I love you and have never met you:heartbeat:nurse:

I've seen 2 people that got looked down on but that was their own fault. When they came through on their residency they treated the nursing staff like crap. They expected to be waited on hand and foot. They wanted everything done IMMEDIATELY even if someone else was dying. They got mad when you paged them. They seemed to have totally forgotten what it was like to be a nurse and wanted the staff to be their handmaidens.

As long as you treat everyone with respect once you leave nursing you should probably be ok.

That is probably the other aspect that some of the nurses are anticipating...former nurses who forget where they came from. And, it would make me wonder if these nurses decided to become physicians in order to give the abuse that they received. If that is why they got into medicine, then, I REALLY feel sorry for their patients.
