After 5 years in nursing, while I love my job and patient care " I work 2 days in icu and also home health for another 2 days a week" I have been giving a great deal of thought into going back to med school. The reason being is I'm just tired of MD not really caring about their patient and what not. I just feel that I could do so much more as a MD from a patient care stand point than a nurse. I would love to open up a clinic where I can advocate for my patients and be a nurse advocate at the same time. I don't believe that if I got my NP I would be able to achieve those lofty goals. Has anyone looked into what it would take to get into med school? Is it easier for nurses to get into med school or harder, if everything else being equal grade and mcat wise. I have all the pre reqs for med school, the problem is have of them were done at a jc and half were done at a 4 year university. My gpa is 3.6, I'm an older student though "36" I have heard that it is next to impossible to get into a med school in the states if you are older. Thanks for any advice that anyone can provide frank
