IF YOU HAVE A DEGREE IN NURSING, HOW EASY WILL IT BE FROM THEN ON TO BECOME A DOCTOR??? WHY IS IT HARDER TO?

Don't use ALL CAPS - it is considered YELLING My sister-in-law is a nurse practitioner (allowed to write prescriptions and set treatment under supervision), which is in some sense the next step below a doctor without specialty. Her husband was an ICU nurse for decades before retiring. My first wife worked for her MD and part of her specialty in Anesthesiology while we were married. An ordinary registered nurse (not a nurse practitioner) does not get the intensely detailed training that doctors go through. Whether the courses they take can selectively be used to skip part of medical school is something that is up to the school. I know when I transferred (not in medicine) and worked with my new school to get credit for the courses at my previous school, I was given credit for courses that contained material I did not have and not given credit for courses that included a lot of material I had. So to get the coverage of knowledge, I had to take courses my transcript said were unneeded and my department required courses that when I took the material again it was easy to get high grades. Thus a nurse trying for medical school might or might not have the needed knowledge if certain parts are skipped.
