If you're already a registered nurse, how long would it nick you to be a medical doctor?
Answers:
It might set free you having to repeat your freshman year of undergraduate school, but that's about it. It seem strange to those not in the business, but the undergraduate classes for nursing and pre-med are almost all incompatible with respectively other.
Being a nurse does not get you any closer to individual a physician than any other bachelor's degree. In fact, you'd probably have to budge back to college for 1-2 years to get the med school pre-requisite science courses done. Nursing degree do not typically require the same level of sciences that are needed to apply to med school.
Following that, you'd do duplicate 4 years in med school as every other physician does. Nursing is a totally different career than pills. The guy who majored in chemistry is closer to being a physician than someone with a BSN.
That will find you the MD degree - you then have to do a residency to be qualified to practice, and that's another 3-7 or more years. Source(s): I'm a physician.
it wouldn't take you closer.
you'd have to apply to med school and do the med arts school prereq requirements. usually RNs who want to go further study for an MSN or a doctorials. med school prepares those who want to be an M.D. Source(s): nursing student.
If you are an RN with your B.Sc. in Nursing, you would have to do another 6 - 8 years to become a medical doctor, depending on your what type of Doctor you want to become.
