RN to MD?

Published

Yesterday at a family gathering I met my cousin's fiance. I had been told by relatives that she was getting ready to apply to medical school so I had assumed she was a pre-med or biology type major. I was pleasantly surprised to find out she is a nursing student (BSN program) who took all of the pre-med classes along with her nursing classes so that she would meet the med school requirements. She hopes to work as a nurse while in med school. I found her way of getting an M.D. fascinating, and had never heard of anyone doing this before. It sounded like a great idea to me as it will definitely give her a greater appreciation for the jobs nurses perform. Has anyone ever heard of a student doing something like this before?

i admire your cousin's fiance. this is my plan from the begining. i know that eventually one day i will be a pediatric doctor. i chose nursing to help become familiar with patients, hospitals, etc. i want to gain enough experience so that i can become a great pediatric doctor. i talked to this lady in high school few years ago about it. she said that it is a great idea to this.

Good luck in your endeavors Nessa20! :) I'm sure you will make a wonderful nurse and doctor. I'm not sure what kind of doctor I want to be yet, if I do decide, but right now I just want to be the best nurse I can be and take care of my patients. (Still looking for a job btw... :uhoh3: ) Best of luck to you!
