Nursing and Pre-med?

Thanks a lot for all your responses. I think I did not realize just just how pre-professional the nursing track is (how could I not?). I guess I just want it both ways - being able to get a job after graduation and being able to be unsure of my future plans.
I also come from a culture/country in which people, especially women, get married in their early or mid-twenties. To work as a nurse before going to med school and then going to med school and going through with everything just seems like waaaaaaaaaay too much time spent before I start my career.
I’ll see how everything with nursing goes, and will keep the nursing practitioner advice in mind.
A couple of questions about that -
How much legal responsibility do they usually carry for their decisions?
How different is their work schedule from that of doctors and regular nurses?
