Nursing is a special calling that many people simply know is the right career for them. However, some nurses dream of advancing their skills and taking on more education and training to become a doctor. If it’s something that you’ve considered, here’s what you need to know. The career transition can be challenging and a stigma does exist that can hold many nurses back from pursuing such a significant career change. You will need to take the MCAT standardized testing and pass it successfully in order to even be considered for medical school. You’ll need to have a Bachelor’s degree and then prepare for 4 more years of medical school, two of which are spent in the classroom and two in clinical roles. It’s a big change, but one that you certainly can pull off if you feel it’s the best move to make for your career.
