Hello everyone,
I'm in an unusual situation: I'm a first semester nursing student at KSU who recently found out he really likes the challenge of Biology. Since I got a little taste of the stresses of a nursing student, I thought I would try my hand at premed and then, after graduating from nursing with a BSN, apply for medical school in Ohio...like Case Western, although I haven't researched that part very well yet.
My question: would you advise me to take premed during nursing, after nursing, during and summer, or just during the summer and then continue whatever I haven't finished after nursing? I realise it will take a while, I will be around 26-30 by the time I get out of medical school, but I would still have 30 some years before retirement. A doctor/nurse (noctor or durse) can do a lot in this world in 30 years. :)
Would you recommend doing this at all? What are the risks? Is it doable? Does anyone know anyone who went into medical school after finishing nursing?
Thanks a lot,
sc
