I resonate so much with this comment. I find myself over studying so much which helps mostly but then I feel like it’s wasted time could’ve been spent on something more productive

Knowledge is power.Knowledge is for winners.I admire you.

Wow, yes! For me also, it’s about the depth of knowledge! When I briefly considered CRNA school as a future possibility, I felt this heavy pit in my stomach thinking about all I could learn in 4 years of medical school that CRNA school wouldn’t touch. Good luck to you and blessings on your journey! (:

You should be able to take stand alone classes at most places yes. but will just depend on the school. I originally tried to do that at my college but it was more expensive than the local community so I just went and did that! but I would be lying if i said that a big university does not look better than a community college- to what extent that is true I am not sure. do what works best for you .. crush it... and nothing is going to hold you back

oky

I’m in that same boat! 😅😞

hey! I hope that your juggle has been going good! For me the answer to that was optimize my time, work my ass off and work as efficiently as possible. But at the end of the day you can only do so much and you are jsut one person. set your priorities, keep them straight and work. you will never regret work put in I promise you that

Hey Bryce, I did not do any shadowing. but I am sure if I asked many of my attending would have been happy to help me out. I was pretty confident in my decision so didn't feel the need however it would certainly not hurt an application in any way. If you want to go for it

Hey Sarah, your comment means a lot to me, thank you! And thank you for your service. As you've heard in my other videos I think their CVICU is a fantastic place to start. You will be challenged and put in uncomfortable situations and you will have to rise to the occasion and get better everyday. I agree with you, become the best nurse that you can be over the next year and then see where you are at and what the next steps should be. You seem like you are in a great place and have already made some huge steps on your journey to physician. I hope the videos I make will continue to help you on your journey. I look forward to hearing all about it

Yes absolutely. That is certainly on my list of videos but I think it would be great to make it my next focus. Thanks for your thoughts! My Best

~only~ lol but I am sure you'd rather be doin what you love rather than toiling away in something you don't. Im pumped up to start clinical within the next few months. I am sure you are busy but could you throw me a follow on my insta - RN2MD (Also can send my personal) I dont really use it lol but would love to talk off KZbin if you have some time!

Great to hear from you dude. your encouragement means a lot to me. Really is a blessing to have the opportunity to work towards our goals and what we are passionate about. I hope school is going well for you, keep working hard my good man

I remember that like it was yesterday I really do. Hanging out doing top rope! crazy how time has flown. so proud of you as well. Keep doing great things my friend

hey dude, thanks for being here and sharing your thoughts. I think these are important and fruitful conversations to have. Step1 has become p/f however step2 is still scored. Are not most assessments that are not a numerical score subjective? Anyways at my school in order to have a high pass in rotations you need to do well on shelf exams which are a numerical assessment as well as have high subjective assessments from the physicians you work with. I personally would prefer step1 to be scored but just because step1 is p/f does not mean merit does not still play a major part. In regards to pay. If you have seen a few of my videos you know that salary is not a a big part of my decision making process. Regardless, I dont think your comments have much substance. A quick google search will give you an idea of compensation. Are you in the medical field? Take Care!

Really?.

That means a lot dude, I appreciate the support always

hey dude, its been a year. I am sorry. How has school been. where is your mind at?

Hey! So I’m currently a 3rd semester nursing student now. Next semester is my last for the ADN portion and then I have a year for online BSN.. So now that I see the dynamic between physicians and patients vs. nurses and patients in the hospital setting, I can tell that nurses are so much closer to the patients. Being a nurse vs a physician is completely different (beyond diagnosis and treatment). I’m not sure how I feel about that! But for now, I’m thinking of going to CRNA school. As much as I love the acquisition of medical knowledge and the application of it to patients, I can’t start over from scratch and do med school. I’m still torn, but right now it’s looking like being an Anesthesia provider with my doctorate is the vibe!

Oh and it goes without saying, congrats on getting in. It's incredible how much it takes to make it

Thanks for being here! means so much. I dont take your kind words lightly!

Hey! so happy that you are aware of your desire to become a physician and that you are making moves in the right directions! I made this video talking about prerequisites! hopefully this helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmshpalm6mhgKc

Hey! so glad that you are going for it! to be honest I didn't shadow anyone. I was pretty confident that my experience and having a ton of conversations with physicians was enough to show me that It was where I want to be. As far as your application goes I don't think shadowing will ever be a bad thing! but for your case of coming from a nurse I do not think that it is necessary to get into medical school. But in general my advice would be to talk to the physicians that you are friends with and let them know your plans. I am sure they will be willing to help you in anyway that they can. At least for me everyone was always so encouraging and kind. They may even have some friends in outpatient they could connect you with if thats what you're looking for. I hope this helps a tiny bit. I look forward to hearing about your journey, keep working

@@RN2MDpat thank you for your reply! I feel better when I knew that shadowing is not quite necessary for somebody that already has medical background. I will keep asking around and hopefully I can get some shadow opportunities. Will keep you updated! Thanks a lot!

It's very different much more comprehensive and in depth. Personally I was in the middle of my class in nursing school and now im at the top of my class in medical school. When you absolutely love it its alot easier!

applied to 8 schools, 2 interviews and 1 acceptance ! If I had waited for all my prerequisites I would have applied to many more but luckily it worked out for me

Hey brother! So glad you reached out. Awesome that you can relate to me so well. I just threw you a follow on LinkedIn. Would love to chat a little more off KZbin! if you aren't active could you follow me on insta at RN2MD ? be good dude

@Nobo 26 now. Accepted into school at 24
