<p>^Uhh...most schools don't have premed as a major. Those days are long gone. Mostly everyone gets a BA/BS in something of their choice and just take the prereqs for med school.</p>
<p>I knew a guy who got rejected from Med school. He didn't want to return to school with the possibility of not getting into med school again, so he switched to computer science.
Now he's happily working as a computer engineer, but I know it's not his passion and if he could choose he'd switch back to the bio field in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>Sometimes, that's just how it goes...</p>
<p>something I think about every day of my lifeā¦</p>
<p>check out anesthetist (anesthesiologist assisant) great job lots of fun. well paid. challenging rewarding. it is what i did and i am so happy . many programs. look online google it!</p>
<p>āCanāt you just become a nurse? itās not like thatās a bad career or anything. I think thatās what I might do, apply to med school, then if I donāt get in then test to become a registered nurse.ā</p>
<p>I realize that this is a late response. But I couldnāt help myself.</p>
<p>Do you actually think that 4 years of pre-med prepare you for anything clinical? Absolutely not. I canāt believe that anyone would actually think that 4 years of hard work would actually give you any skills. Pre-med is a joke. Any 4 year degree nurse would run circles around a pre-med graduate in a hospitable. Hell, most experienced nurses run circles around doctors. </p>
<p>Being a nurse is a vocational skill. A nursing degree is a vocational degree. That means they are actually taught tangible skills. Pre-meds are NOT taught medical skills. </p>
<p>Thus, you cannot simply ātestā to become a nurse.</p>
<p>One more time. A āpremedā curriculum is a handful of courses taken during a conventional college degree. It does not, and is not intended to, prepare one to do anything in the health fields other than start medical school. </p>
<p>It is not a ājokeā it is a ācollege educationā. Being a history major, who took a few science courses, does not prepare one to practice anything in health care. Why is this surprising? The same education also would not prepare one to practice law, fly an airplaneā¦</p>
<p>Whatās a hospitable?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ā¦or start dental school or pharmacy school.</p>
