NP vs/or MD trouble deciding

[Gena_g72 at yahoo]

I have so much stress related to my unability to decide between the two: should I become NP with only 3 years of RN experience (by the time I get my NP degree done) or, I'd rather become an MD with 3 years of residency experience? I am currently 38 and I am a new RN with no experience who just got accepted into a RN-BSN program. so if I start this RN-BSN and continue streightforward to MSN, I will be NP in three years, but will only have 3 years of RN experience, since i will work as an RN during my BSN and MSN studies. I think I will feel very uncomfortable being called an NP with only 3 yeras of RN experince.

Based on the above rationale, sould it be a better idea not to start RN-BSN program and instead study 4 years in MD school + 3 years of residency and after 7 years I get an MD license. If I do this, I will be an MD in 7 years with 3 years of residency experince, and by that time I will be 46 y.o. (I am currently also accepted in a medical school oversees, that is accreditted in US).

It is a very difficult to know what is better.

Please, respond to my quesion, if you have any advice for me. Thank you very much.

Do you have a previous bachelors degree? Do you have the pre-reqs for medical school? If not, those things could take 2-3 years. Also, not everyone who goes to med school gets in on the first round. It is your life, I'd recommend reading up on the student doctor network, especially the older students.
