I'm interested in becoming a dermatologist


Question Posted Friday March 25 2005, 12:43 pm

I'm taking up BS Nursing right now, on my 2nd year...But my dreams of becoming a dermatologist is getting bigger than my dreams of being a nurse..So, how do I get there? should I finish nursing first? shift to a more relevant course?

I think that you should keep all your options open. Medical school is a long process, that includes applying. You should stay in Nursing school, study for and take your GMATS, apply, see where you get in, and then, if you are ready, go for it. If not, defer your admission for a year and begin the following year when you've graduated. You can always do nursing part time to earn money in medical school. Many people do that.

Well, too bad i dont know what a dermatologist is, because i am only 13 years old, but i think i can try. (sorry)Maybe if you stick with nursing for a little while, and then when you have a day off, or like during the night or something, maybe you can go online and look up more about it. And so when you get that job, you can stick with nursing until the day before you start your new job, quit your nursing job. And i am sorry about that you have to get the BS. sorry i couldnt help a bunch, but maybe you might take some of my advice. good luck
xoxo <3 and try not to take the BS so you get fired after you already get the other job..?

I'd switch.Some of your classes are going to be the same for both though so maybe you can do both? Clinicals will be the big thing for the nursing...Taking up study time maybe.I changed my mind I think i'd go for the dermatologist degree by try for nursing at same time.IF, I could swing it.Check out whats needed for both and see what might be possible.

Finish nursing school first and then pursue your dermatologist career. This way, you have nursing to fall back on as a backup career if dermatology doesn't work out.

I think you should finish getting your nursing degree and then work on your dermatology degree after that. While you are going to school to be a dermatologist, you can also be working as a nurse for extra income. It is nothing wrong with having two careers, and if you find out that you don't like dermatology in the end, then at least you will have another degree to fall back on.
