What does it take to become a nurse or doctor?

Question

I am interested in becoming a nurse or doctor and i was wondering what are the requirements and what do you do when you become a nurse?

Answer 1

To be a doctor you need to go to medical school (4 years) and then speciality training (Residency) which is another 3-7 years. To get into med school you need to take the MCAT (medical college admissions test) and have pretty good grades. Med school is aslo super expensive, most people end up with $150,000-$250,000 in debt by the end.

Answer 2

well i suppose it depends on what country you are in & what university.

i'm from Canada and nursing is now a 4 year degree program.  I   want to become a doctor hopefully and I am currently taking Physiology to get my Bachelor of Science and then med school is another 4 years..  and any specialty would be more years on top of that.

hope that helps!

If you're in the U.S., the first page I'm linking below has info on different degree programs for nursing certification. The second page has profiles of lots of different types of nurses where they talk about what they do.
