Would it be better to get a degree in nursing (RN) then get your doctorate in Med. or go straight for it?

Me and my friend are going into the local nursing program. The school is known for such a thing. She wants to get her RN degree, then work a year or two, then go after her doctorate. I'm wondering would it be better to go straight for your doctorate of med. or get the RN degree first then go for it? Thanks. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated, im interested in Neurology, shes interested in Anesthesiology.

If you're sure that you want to go for the M.D., it's probably more efficient to pick a premed major and go straight for that. However, I'm sure that the experience as a nurse would make you a doctor who better understands and values the role of nurses. Plus you'd be prepared for a career in case you don't get into medical school. Ask a guidance counselor and/or a doctor for more input. Good luck!
