I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, and have decided I'm pretty sure I want to go to med school. My initial plan has been to do a medic to RN bridge program that starts this summer, and eventually move on to DNP.
The more I think about it, I would hate to feel limited as a NP and most of all I want to attend med school because I have a desire to obtain a better medical knowledge. I would hate to go the NP route then feel I didn't get a deep enough understanding of medicine.
I am posting this because I know people here have gone from medic to med school so I would like to hear your advice / experiences.
I'm thinking about doing RN bridge so I can work in a hospital and make more money without having to work the OT I do now as a medic. This combined with the increased flexibility of scheduling that the hospital would provide as oppose to the EMS service I work for now I think would make Pre-med easier.
Do you think that would be a waste of time? Did you guys work as medics till you got accepted to med school? Anyone know how hard it is living off loans while in med school with a family?
Thanks for any input.
