Yes I have done shadowing, with anesthesiologists and an OBGYN. I'm hoping to shadow a dermatologist as well. And thank you, it is tough and I definitely have some soul searching

Thank you all for your help!

Yes I would complete a biology degree.

I looked and I think I have a decent chance I have a 4.0 science and a 3.8 cumulative. I have military background in the medical field and am joining a research team ina couple weeks

Hi everyone! I know this may not be the topic most people like to talk about but I'm just reaching out for some help. I'm currently in a BSN program and only have 4 terms left, I went into nursing because I was drawn to it while I was a corpsman in the navy. But on the other hand I have always had a lurking want to become a doctor. The one big thing that has kept me from doing it is time it takes and the fact that I want a family soonish. I am 23 and married. My husband also wants kids soon and I know that wouldn't be easy in medical school. I'm am so torn though, being in nursing school hasn't taken away the desire to try medicine so now I'm wondering if I should drop out and finish my med school pre reqs. Or stick it out since I only have a year and a half left (our bsn program goes over summer as well) and then see if I want to attend medical School, we also have a decent amount of debt so that is another thing I'm worried about when it comes to attending medical school since my husband won't be graduating for two and a half years. If I finished my BSN I could have income while finishing pre reqs. Any experiences or advice is greatly appreciated.

Good morning everyone, I am new to the allnurses website so this is a first for me. I just had a few questions about getting into an icu as a new nurse and then going onto CRNA school. First I just got accepted into the nursing program of my choice and will finish in 2018. Will my military experience in medical give me a better chance of getting into an icu as a new nurse? I have my MA and CNA certifications along with BLS, ACLS. What else should I do to ensure a spot as a new grad? Lastly, what are some good tips for getting into CRNA school? I have some good contacts already. I worked in the OR as an anesthesia technician while in the navy so I have some good contacts from there. What are some others thing I could do to make my package stronger? Thanks for all the advice!
