A Dream Differed: I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO....Life happens, and I have just made the decision to try to enter nursing instead of my dream of going to medical because I am not financially, or mentally able--neither physically healthy enough--to support myself while I try apply for medical school. my mother who never went to college is not able to hold a job and make enough money to support us so I have decided this route. Granted I have two undergrad degrees, which have not gotten any good jobs at all. I have always respected noble profession of nursing, having worked along side many nurses as a CNA, I have seen first hand the interaction or impact nurses have on patients. While it hurts me to make this decision, I don't see it as a set down, as I stated before I believe that nursing is a noble profession. Lastly, this video was very reassuring for me not to give up on my dream of becoming a doctor, and that going from BSN to MD is possible. Thank you sir!

Yes! I'm in the same boat. I am a single parent and want to become a doctor but there is no way I can pay for bills throughout medical school. I have zero financial support or help with my child, since the few family I have live out of state. I want the financial stability and experience of a great career in the health field and I am 2 years away from my BSN. I have been driving myself crazy with what to do and have been losing sleep over it. Knowing that it is possible to go this route eases my mind so much!!

Hi, I know it's been 5 years now but I just wanna know if you actually made it. If yes then if you don't mind can I reach out to you for a personal advice on my transition journey?

Loved this video really inspiring me to take this route !!!!!

This made me feel better about my consideration. I am close with 80% of the doctors I work and a few have suggested I go to med school. I always made some excuse to why it wouldn’t work. I have two children or I’m too old, or my wife would not like that. I pursued a position in leadership instead and have been a nursing supervisor in a mental health prison. Your points make me feel good because I check many of the areas you speak on. I have always been a “why” person and always found myself learning from the doctors or researching on my own to get the why. This of course is not required of me as a nurse but it really interested me. I want to be able to lead and have that autonomy and I think medicine is where it is for me. Thank you for this video as it is helping me move to that next step in decision making.

This video is very helpful! Thank you.

Hey Dr. Pinesett, Thanks for giving out these videos. I should be making the transition around May 2019. I was Army(11B active), so I know all about being at the bottom, and climbing out of the pecking order. Hopefully, I can get the GI Bill to subsidize a good majority of accrued med school debt, as I payed my way through RN school with scholarships and grants. Always welcoming more information, once again thank you.

Thank you for this interview. This is an eye opening video

In being autistic, I had to learn to self regulate my behaviors. It wasn't something I just walked in and intuitively knew how to do. But the benefit of that is I've learned to very intuitively shut the hell up and just observe. In positions like you mentioned where you are going from a position where you have some level of seniority and clinical knowledge to being the low person, I've learned to accept that, for lack of a better word, abuse, and take it with an open mind. Don't just write it off as people abusing seniority, or because the first thing they said was dumb the rest of what they had to say is equally stupid. Take what is said, learn to say OK, and disseminate that quietly to yourself. You'll find that there's still quite a lot to learn that way.

Thanks for motivation...please tell me how much is expensive for medical school after nursing?

Hey Dr. Andre, any advice on applying to the US as a Canadian undergraduate?

Thank you for making this video. It really inspired me. I am a freshly graduated nurse from outside Us, i got my BSN from a local university and I’ve put my head on pursuing medicine but I’m afraid med school won’t accept my application because i’m a foreigner. What should i do before I apply. Should i take some classes in a us college. Should i work for couple of months before I take the MCAT?

Great video! Thank for you for the advice. However, I would have to disagree on finding time to round with physicians “before or after your shift,” as most of us work 12 hours. I think during the shift is ideal to sit in on rounds with the medicine team regarding my patient.

@PremedProductivity

ccardenas2684 I appreciate your sentiment, but that would be an extension of your nursing duties. You want doctors to evaluate you as a potential doctor. Additionally, I didn’t mean literally before or after your shift, it could be on your off day. Most nurses work 3-4 days per week. Plenty of time to commit to your future.

Omg u r sooo right.. thx so much for all your insightful videos .. I worked in various areas of nursing for almost 19yrs now but I knew I wanted to go into another field .. my interest was in pharmacy but since moving into critical care for a year and half now.. all I want to do is go into is medicine.. my daughter is actually calling me obsessed bc all I do in my free time is listen to medical lectures in KZread or to medical students/residents.. my favorite lectures are from medcram .. but there are other excellent ones. My interest developed just from observing doctors, residents round in our unit.. I pay very close attention in their presentation of cases.. one fellow is actually inviting me to round wt them.. for now I just stick with my patient/s.. I bought some O chem textbooks flightnurse 2 md KZreadr said helped him a lot. And I am listening to science lectures from khan academy.. I hope to start my remaining prerequisites this fall.. I’ll get some of your MCAT classes once I’m ready to tackle it... I’m involving in more PI projects and teaching opportunities in my facility..and yes my specialty will be anesthesia .. hope to do fellowship in cardiothoracic anesthesia and pain management... thx so much .. u will be hearing from me..

I also feel like CRNA school would be faster but HARDER, like in a toxic, soul destruction type of way. The uncertainty has me frozen, but I HATE accepting the idea that THAT fear means I'm not ready to transition

It's so toxic. If I'd have known how it goes beforehand I would've never gone for my bsn

Hi Dr. Pinesett, I have one question: First, WOW! What an inspiration you are, thank you! I just got accepted to a one year accelerated BSN program, UConn in Connecticut. I took General Chemistry I, General Biology I and other undergraduate science courses required for nursing which are required as well for medical school pre-requisites. Once I finish my BSN degree and earn experience as a nurse and ready to begin my transition to pre-med, would I have to re-take the science courses I already took a couple of years ago prior to BSN? I've heard that if 5 years have passed since you took a science course, it will expire and you have to re-take it again to apply to pre-med. Is this true? I would have to re-take General Biology and Chemistry, Physics, etc? Sorry for the long questions but this is a bit concerning to me. I look forward to hearing from you. Jean

Wow your awesome ❤️

I'm considering which docs I can ask for recommendation letters and there are not many. Mostly because the male docs on my unit are rude. For instance, when you ask them a question or update them on patient needs, they just stare at you like you said something dumb. There will be a long awkward pause before they answer. Maybe they just like to see young nurses(I'm 24 but look like 18 or 20) sweat, but I really dislike that behavior. We only have 2 pleasant female docs on my unit but they don't work with my unit often so no time to build a personal rapport. What should I do?

I am curious as to whether I should change my major to chemistry or biology simply for the easier transition into medical school.

this information is easy to find online. from what i've read, nursing courses don't transfer. the route isn't any shorter if you're a nurse or not. pick a medical school in your state and read their prereqs. after undergraduate degree, med school is 4 years. residency is 1 intern year + 3-7 resident years depending on specialty.

Hey Dr. Pinesett, is it true that med schools don’t recognize nursing clinical courses as full time? For example, I’m a nursing student and taking 4 courses in a semester in which 2 of them are clinicals, does this mean they only look at the other 2 courses that are not clinical which then will count as a part time student since those clinical courses only give an experiential pass of fail?
