I received a confirmation email that my application was complete on 09/27/2022!

Just admitted! Congratulations to the other admits as well! Hope you're all doing great!

I apologize for my ignorance! Thank you!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all safe and healthy! I'll start off by saying that I was premed for the longest time and enjoyed my science courses. However, being a physician is not my calling and I am currently applying to nursing schools. I have nothing against either nurses or doctors and I am in no way trying to cause conflict. I'm asking these questions because I'm genuinely curious! I've always been amazed at the wealth of knowledge that doctors have in regard to the nitty gritty details of disorders, biochemical pathways, molecular and cellular biology, and physiology. I like to think of doctors as medical dictionaries (this is the perspective I have of docs because my mother is a surgeon and could talk about anything and everything). The depth and breadth of medical knowledge between a doctor and a nurse is arguably different since both pathways differ in educational years and emphasis on molecular/biological/chemical/physical knowledge (since they perform different roles, I don't see this as a problem). I want to ask: 1. For nurses who enjoy learning about the molecular and cellular bases of diseases, did you take it upon yourself to learn more about diseases, anatomy, physiology, Chemistry, physics, biochemistry, etc? Do you feel at all limited when it comes to your medical knowledge? If I want to become a "medical dictionary" can I do this as a nurse? 2. I have read elsewhere that when asked about "why" a procedure is performed, a nurse wouldn't be able to tell you the scientific basis. Do you find this to be true or accurate? If yes, do you think this is dependent on the nurse or on their nursing education itself? Again, no shade or harm intended. I'm so excited to join the medical field as a nurse and I couldn't think of doing anything else. Thank you for your input! Stay safe and be well! - premurse

SAME!???

Hey everyone! Is anyone else also waiting for their acceptance/waitlist/rejection for Friday March 12?
