Should I quit nursing for medical school?

This is my first question, so please be nice!

Ok. Doing my nursing degree, but wondering if I should do medicine instead? At uni in brighton, so still the same site…

I don’t know, five years is a long time…I’d also like to do psychology as the main part of medicine..

Follow your dream - I would go for Doctor, plan A - then have a B and C…I wish you every success !!

Answer #2

dont look it the monetary side of things, think about which you would prefer to do. you say your close to finishing your nursing degree so maybe you could do both. your never too old to study btw! I know people in their seventies doing degrees! Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Answer #3

you know, my spell check didn’t pick that up lol! I checked the spelling on there before I typed it as if I were saying councillor lmao…and it was late ;OD duh!

Answer #4

but technically, I am getting (or am to most of the people on here) old!

5 years uni based doing the medicine degree and then 5 years (approx) as a junior. but when I qualigy from nursing, which won’t be long now, I’ll be able to do therapy and councilling (which I have always loved!). but the starting salary for a grade e nurse (what you qualify at) is on 20,000 GBP. whereas medicine, when you have done your 5 years degree you start you junior post at £40,000 - more than what the matrons I work with earn?…

I have the knowledge and dedication. but do I have the time??? pooo

thank you for such a lovely reply by the way!

Answer #5

Answer #6
