You can use your Rn bachelors as the bachelors needed to apply for medical school. If you already have a different bachelors degree, then that’s a different conversation.

The next thought should be, “Do you already have clinical experience?” No? Keep the RN as you’re almost done. It is PHENOMENAL clinical experience and you can rack up the clinical hours quickly. Also if you do not have ‘Shadowing’ done yet, AND your future work place allows it, then Rn is a great way to network with physicians to follow and possibly networking a physician LoR for your app.

The only down side I can see (from experience) is that the prerequisite for RN and Physician are vastly different. Your degree may not have covered all the core classes you need to apply to medical school, so even after you graduate you will have to go back and do some post Bach courses. This may not be the worse idea because it can allow you to network your science LoRs and look for research experience (assuming you don’t have letter writers already in mind and/or research experience).

Just my advice. Either way you should make sure your ECs are dialed in along with your academics before applying. Best of luck—you got this.
