<p>well that is why i would consider just taking premed requirements on top of nursing. there are a few (not many) overlaps, i guess. i’m just not sure how possible it is to do.</p>
<p>i’m not just going for a regular nursing degree (RN). i’m interested in becoming a nurse practitioner (NP), which requires a few more years. </p>
<p>i’m also not keen on the idea of not having a stable family life, having to go through sleep-deprived years (residency), and dealing with the ridiculous amount of responsibility that is put on a doctor’s shoulders.</p>
<p>the idea of being a doctor is great. in a practical sense, i feel like i’d be better suited as a nurse.</p>
