Can you become a doctor from a degree of a Registered Nurse..?

like can u further educate yourself from the knowledge you have from the Registered Nurse degree or do you have to start school stating that you want to become a doctor? get me?

Yes, you do need a bachelor's in something. I don't know if you have a BSN or not. If you are an RN as an associate's or diploma, it would be pretty easy to get a BSN transition program from a RN. You can get to medical school, but it is very competitive. However, in saying this, I am not trying to discourage you. I want you to continue to research how to get into medical school. Over 50% of all qualified applicants get rejected. Most applicants have a gpa of over a 3.5 (at least...in fact average is more like 3.7). Getting into medical school is the hardest challenge. You also have to declare being a "premed" which is important because you will more than likely have premed advisers at your college who can help you. Premed advisers are gold to you. Once you declare being a premed, you must take necessary courses such as physics, chemistry, calculus, organic chemistry, biology. (most of which your RN knowledge will come in handy since you, I am assuming, have completed some of these courses). Most premeds declare they are premed while completing their bachelor's degree, but some have declared premed after getting a B.S. and yes even a B.A. There are a lot of biology/biochemistry/related sciences who are accepted. In fact, 50% of biochemistry majors get in. About 23% of nursing majors get in which sounds small, but it is in fact pretty high. I hope I have been helpful, and I encourage you to pursue medical school.

No....it would certainly help you get through Medical School and if you have a BSN from a 4 year university you may have met some of the Pre-Med requirements, but you will still have to go through Medical School, Residency, etc.

Yes, you can go to medical school after first being trained as a RN.

In Canada, to be an RN you need to get a BA. I'm Canadian, hence my response.

You must first have a bachlors degree in something. An RN has an education level of two years of college, BSN has four years of college. So to answer your question you must first have a bachlors degree in something. Certainly being a nurse (especially with work experience)at either level will help you because you understand pharmacology, anatomy and biology. It is helpful to know your educational goals early on but you do not have to state that you want to be a MD.
