Question

What does a fully qualified nurse need to become a surgeon?

Answer 1

The nurse would have to have a BS or BA with sufficient coursework to take the MCAT entrance exam for medical school, then go to medical school for four years, take initial board exams, then begin residency in a teaching hospital.  Surgeon residencies run 5+ years, and then the person can be a surgeon in private practice.  

Answer 2

You have to become a licensed MD.  Then you have to be an intern, and then a resident.

You might be exempted from a couple of classes, but basically your requirements will be the same as anybody else.

Answer 3

Do you mean a surgeon, which requires a medical degree and specialist training?

Or

A surgical care practioner, which takes two years training for nurses. See here: http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/career/nonmed/be...

Answer 4

Exactly the same course any other would be doctor needs. A degree in medicine and then hospital training for about 10 years.
