Nursing school or biology degree?

Asked by travelbabe24 (262) November 9th, 2015 from iPhone

Hello, I just got accepted into nursing school, but I’ve come to the realization that nursing is not what I want, and that I want to pursue medicine.

I’m almost done with my biology degree, and I would end up graduating the same time I would if I continue on in nursing school. But nursing just doesn’t feel right for me, and I know if I did become a nurse, I would only work a few years before applying to medical school.

I guess the only thing is, is if I go to nursing school, I’m guaranteed a job that I’ll enjoy. I’d be happy as a nurse, but not as happy as I would be if I was a physician. I could then work for a few years as a nurse and then apply to med school.

Where as with a biology degree, I do not have a guaranteed job. But a biology degree opens the doors to medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, nursing, etc.

How do I decide? I only have a couple months to decide. My GPA is great right now so it seems like either decision will lead me to my ultimate goal. But what route seems the most logical? Either way, they both will be a lot of hard work and dedication.
