Is the work to become a doctor harder than a nurse practitioner?
I know I've heard a lot about how sturdy and long the work is to become a doctor, and I know it wouldn't be easy to become a nurse practitioner, but I was wondering, is the work pretty much the same difficulty, a doctor merely being the same work just more detailed information?or is becoming a nurse practitioner easier and shorter? I'd most promising like to become a nurse practitioner, a lot because it's a shorter length of time, but they're able to diagnose and prescribe prescription, but are they able to diagnose much? do doctors do much more diagnosing? if I'm not sure if I could become a doctor would it be better to become a nurse practitioner? I know doctors have more responsibility, but wouldn't that mean they hold more chances to improve lives too?

WOW! I WAS IN THE SAME ISSUE!!
OK.... SINCE IT DOES TAKE LONGER TO BECOME A DOCTOR, I DECIDED TO BE NURSE PRACT. DOCTORS THESE DAYS ARE KINDA OVERRATED. YOU CAN DO ALMOST THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK AND ALMOST MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING A NURSE PRACT IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME.
IT WOULD BE YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAARRRRSSSS TO BE CONSIDERED A ""DOCTOR"" WHEN ALL YOU NEED IS A MASTERS AND A LITTLE EXTRA TRAINING IN THE FIELD YOU WANT TO WORK IN TO BE NURSE PRACT. YOU DO BASICALLY THE SAME THING DOCTORS DO.
SAME FOR P.A.
NURSE PRACT'S CAN ALSO OWN THEIR OWN PRACTICES IF THEY REALLY WANT JUST LIKE A DOCTOR! SO STICK TO YOUR GOAL AND BECOME A NURSE PRACT.
HOPE THIS HELPED SOME!! GOOD LUCK Source(s): I PULLED MY HALF MY HAIR OUT TRYING TO SEE IF I WANTED TO BECOME A NURSE PRACT. OR A DOCTOR TOO! :>
lets just say they are 2 completely differnet picture points.
to become a nurse, they basicly are trained to care for the patient and make his enthusiasm easier.
to become a doctor, they are basicly trained to treat the patient and diagnose his problems and help him live.
Some people can become a nurse straight out of elevated school if they do a running start for a nursing liscense and doctors have to go to arts school for about 10 years to do there job of diagnosing problems and basicly getting the nurses to do the work they assign such as giving shots, doing test, and ect.
the nurses learn fundamentals of how to do stuff, the doctors learn why to do those things.
hope that helps.
Most nurse practitioners do not have the diploma to even APPLY to medical school. Despite a masters level degree, they are not required to appropriate the same undergraduate courses that prospective physicians do. The medical school curriculum is much more rigorous than any nursing program by many directions of magnitude.
Nursing (even advanced practice nursing) and medicine are very different career, even if some nurses think they are doctors. Ask any nurse who has gone on to med school - it's profusely harder than they imagined it would be. Source(s): I'm a physician.
Much, much harder.
