My lifelong dream has always been to be a physician, I still hold that dream and plan to attend medical school following college. Currently I am about to enter my senior year in high school and I am an IB diploma candidate focusing on life sciences. I plan to attend the University of Washington for undergraduate and postgrad med school. My question is... would a BSN degree be an appropriate path for undergraduate, is that even an option? People often speak of premed as a major , but I have always interpreted it that as long as you have the appropriate courses and GPA the degree it results in has little effect on your competitvness as a medical school applicant. I would think that a nursing program would contain the required prerequisite courses for medical school. I believe that some clinical experience before medical school would make me a better physician and that nursing during medical school would help me gain me some clinical insight as well as providing a salary to pay through medical school. What do you think? -Josh
