I think about Med school all the time. I have taken a different path in becoming a nurse and I hope you all don't hate me instantly when I say I originally went into nursing just to prove to myself that I could do it. All of my patients seem to really appreciate what I do for them and I do love making them feel better in any way that I can. However, I see how the Doctors are treated and the respect that is given them (even if they are not the greatest), and somewhere deep inside I want that. I just graduated on 12/13 and will probably not take boards until the end of Feb. or the beginning of March. I currently have a bachelors degree in business and education and can jump into a nurse practitioner masters progam, but you still don't get the respect of a doctor. Med-school certainly isn't out of the question just yet!

Hello all! I just graduated from a Community College ADN program 12/13 and am seeking the pros and cons of seeking a job before taking Boards or holding off until I actually have my License in my hand. What do you "veteran" nurses suggest. Besides the ADN-RN degree, I hold a Bachelors in Business and Education. Are there any jobs you would suggest looking towards with this background? I will be 33 years old on Christmas and I am leaning toward Oncology/Pediatric Oncology nursing at the moment but am open to any suggestions offered. I would love to hear from the people out there that know the "real deal". I look forward to your input.
