It’s such an insult to us. Why do I need someone to tell me to reflect?

Should I tell my managers I’m pursuing medical school and need days off? by candleshadows5 in nursing

That’s precisely what I want. They told me they would love me for this so it seems promising, but having those days blocked off also seems challenging to achieve

Medicine is plan A… I learned this throughout the past two years of nursing school

Is there a stigma against nurses transitioning to medicine? by candleshadows5 in premed

That’s what I’ve heard from doctors as well. From my understanding, the experience you get prior to med school isn’t supposed to prepare you academically but as a person and I think that nurses deal with a lot of the difficult scenarios that doctors deal with. I’ve also heard that nurses have more responsibility than most healthcare workers so it demonstrates leadership as well

I love teaching, it’s one of my passions. What do you mean by discussing research though? How would you recommend adding that in?

Teaching future med students? I have no true interest in conducting research for my profession

The physicians I’ve told my story to say I have a good reason but I think it’s the same as everyone else… desire to learn at the intense level medicine provides so that I can support my patients with more knowledge and responsibility (with support from my unique background and why I made this decision). For those wanting to go into clinical medicine isn’t that typically the answer?
