<p>Hi, i know this thread is over two years old, but if anyone is still interested in providing anymore input that would be amazing. After finishing this ENTIRE thread, i found a lot of useful information and had many of my questions answered about being a nursing major to apply to medical school, but i still have a few questions. For background, I am about to go into my sophomore year of college, and have already finished all my pre-med requirements. Biology, Inorganic chemistry, Physics, organic chemistry, English and calculus are all taken care of. That being said, I’m looking at three more years of science classes and labs to fulfill a B.S degree in Neuroscience. But my passion for being pre-med comes from not only having an intellectual curiosity for the sciences, but also, mostly, for helping people. A big argument against nursing here seems to be that nursing requirements aren’t the same as pre-med ones but also that nursing isn’t seen as intellectually equivalent with liberal arts degrees. If I became a nursing major now, not only would I have all my pre-med courses done I could be looking at three years of patient care experience as well as cultivating hospital experience that would make me a better doctor in the future. If I’ve done everything to make myself equivalent to other medical school applicants, why wouldn’t focusing on my passion for helping people make me a stronger candidate for being a successful medical student and doctor?</p>
