I want to be a pediatrician..shud i go 2 nursing school or go2 a college and major in nursing/medicine? If you don't have a bachelor's yet, counselors usually recommend a BS in Biology. Pediatricians are Phds in medicine, and not in nursing. If you want to be a pediatric nurse, I'd go for the nursing BS. More credentials= more opportunities, so go for the four-year degree, either way. Why don't you check out some med schools and ask them if they accept students with nursing degrees? Obviously you would need a bachelor's, and I would think that someone from, say Penn's nursing school would be qualified for med school. But ask a med school. As a nursing instructor/nurse I must tell you that only medical school will pay off financially. Secondly, nurses often realize after they are in the field for a short time they are not appreciated or seen as professionals in the health industry. Medical school/pre med is defiantely the way to go. Go to college. Major in a life science. Get good grades. why dont you be a nurse practitioner!?!?! go through nursing school and become an RN (registered Nurse) get your masters for nurse practitioner and specialize in pediatrics... while youre a nurse you will gain valuable experience that you would never get in medical school! You're going to be need to go through a college medical program... Pediatrics is a medical degree. You probably want to major in pre-med/bio. Then go to Med School, then residency, then a maybe a fellowship. Why would you go to nursing school to become a doctor? Go to college, preferably one with a premed program, and start. These are 2 different tracks tat you go down. First is a nursing school that turns out nurses. Make up your mind. Nurse or doctor. None of these two degree have anything in common. In fact, in California, there's a lighter version of General Chemistry (which is for premed students) for non-biology majors. |
