No. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go to nursing school fresh out of high school and get my BSN (and not party too much so I could make those 8:00 chemistry classes). :)
I would do the same. I feel like kicking myself for not going to college at 18! First of all, my dad would have paid my way and secondly...how much fun do you have at college??? What a dimwit I was! :chuckle
A resounding NO....I am not interested in being a doctor. I would hate to be a slave to the phone, pager, etc. Besides, nurses do all the nice work at the bedside and the doctor usually floats in for a few minutes a day. I think the nurses have a much bigger impact on the patient than docs...
No way.....................................and especially now.....I actually know of some doctors that have smaller salary than some nurses. Especially if they go into family practice and join a group. You can actually make more money as a nurse then what they make.................Definitely not worth another 8 years to me.............

Just curious - to all the RN's, NP's, CNS's, etc. out there.....
If you had to do it all over again, would you have became a doctor instead?
Keep in mind all factors to consider: malpractice rates, med school tuition, time committment......
Happy Sunday!
