Thanks for sharing your story! As a nurse I love when doctors have hospital experience prior to becoming a doctor. You’re going to make an excellent doctor! Congrats!

This is really motivating. I really want to go back to MD school. But the major issue i have is my BSN was gotten in Nigeria. Most MD schools i have looked up do not accept international first degree. They require 90 credit hours in the US. I really don't know how to go about it. Any tips will be appreciated.

Hi Chinakwu, thanks for this info, please keep them coming. I wanted to ask if you knew about medical schools choosing their province residents for admission before you applied to Nova Scotia? If not would that have influenced your university application choice?

[@amaka4743]

Great 👍

[@ezekiel5273]

How long is med school in Us How did you finance your studies

[@chinakwu]

@@ezekiel5273 Its a total of 4 years after you have completed your undergraduated degree. Financing can be done in various ways, some can be done with the help of family and friends, but majority rely on government, bank, and personal student loans

[@josepharegbor4837]

Ur story was so inspiring pls I have a question Firstly must I have a pre medical degree like bsc biology, microbiology or RN nursing before I can study medicine in USA or Canada and secondly if so can I use my bsc microbiology or RN nursing certificate gotten from a Nigeria university or polytechnic to study in a medical school in USA or Canada please I need an answer because I’m so confused thank you doctor Charles❤️🙏

[@josepharegbor4837]

Waiting on ur reply doc

[@chinakwu]

Hello, thank you very much! No you don’t need a pre-medical degree before applying to medical school in USA or Canada. Any degree is okay as long as it’s from a university (polytechnic doesn’t count). However, regardless of your degree, you need to have university credits in the pre-medical requirements courses which include courses like biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics (every school has unique pre-reqs, but these are the 4 most common pre-req courses). Then you also need to have taken the MCAT exam and passed. If you’re applying from Nigeria, you’ll also need all the other requirements asked from international applicants like TOEFL etc I hope this helps!

[@josepharegbor4837]

@@chinakwu wow thanks so much I have the pre med credit such as physics, biology and chemistry already I don’t think I’m applying from Nigeria but thanks I’m grateful🙏more wisdom sir

[@Kk-me7uh]

Hello Dr., were you working as a nurse when you were going to medical school?

[@chinakwu]

Hello :) I initially planned to, but because of how busy medical school was and the time commitment needed during medical school to be successful, I never ended up working as a nurse while in med school.

[@kadiatourafioudiallo4842]

[@brillantoreoletambia9660]

@@chinakwu alright. But please how have you found your nursing work in USA when you were still in Canada?

[@kadiatourafioudiallo4842]
