Medical Career
I'm still in high school, but I know I get straight A's in honors classes, study hard and am FASCINATED by science. Particularly the human body and how it works. I was thinking about what I'd want as a career, and nothing else comes to mind other than medicine.
ANYWAY...for those who know what med school is like, is it really as hard as i have read in articles? Long hours studying, constant stress? I'm a hard worker and a competitive student, but stress overwhelms me. Is med school REALLY that hard?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
It's hard, you won't sleep some nights, and you will be stressed.
However, what the articles fail to tell you is how much fun it can also be. Your first four years of college should be a great experience (assuming you go to a four year university and live on campus)
Also, if you're pursuing a medical career out of passion, then you should enjoy what you are learning amongst all the stress, coffee, and all nighters.

My mom is a registered nurse, so she obviously went to Med School.
I was kind of young, but what I remember most is her studying A LOT! So I'm guessing yeah, it must be pretty hard studying wise. It takes a lot of time and effort.
My mom did get stressed, but it wasn't a constant thing. Like, before her tests or whatever, she'd get stressed out, but other than that she wasn't too bad.
Also, if you're working hard now and putting in a lot of effort in your school work, etc, you're on the right track. My mom loves her job, though, so if you DO decide to go to Med School, you'll probably never regret it ;]
