B.S of Nursing to Med School?

I am currently in pursuit of getting my B.S of Nursing, and eventually want to get my masters to work in neo-natal and be a nurse practitioner. I was wondering, if I decide later on in my career to become a doctor, is any of the schooling transferrable from Nursing to Med school? Or if you have your masters of nursing, can anything transfer into med school? I can not find this answer anywhere. Please only people who know what they're talking about answer this.

Unfortunately, none of your nursing courses will meet the requirments for medical school. I was a Physician Assistant and then went to medical school and believe me, if you follow a similar route, the first semester of med school will demonstrate how much more in depth med school is versus any other medical training you have had.

My compliments on your aspirations. But, just to put a thought in your mind--if you were to change your focus right now, you could get your MD in the same amount of time it's going to take you to become a NP.

i think you have a very good plan for a nursing career, assuming that this is what you really love to do. this is the most important factor in choosing a profession.

if you wish to go to medical school in the future, i'm sure you're nursing degree is a good preparatory. you can also seek the help of a career counselor in your school to obtain professional advice.

The coursework for nursing (and allied health in general) is different from the coursework for pre-med. The tracks for chemistry and biology are not the same. For example, while you have to take anatomy/physio and microbiology for allied health/nursing, those courses do not meet the regular pre-med curriculum. Premed courses include calculus, two years of lab chemistry (general and organic), physics with minimal calculus and general biology.

Likewise, if I wanted to switch from my pre-med stuff over to PA or NP progams, I'd have to take a bunch of other requirements (ana/physio, micro, etc.). So it's not that one track is necessarily better than the other, it's just that the requirements are different.

If you really want to practice at a top level, you can circumvent retaking all the extra pre-med classes by just going for your NP and MSN. You'll still be able to treat patients and Rx meds.
