I want to be a doctor to help people, yes. I started as a nurse for many reasons. One being I want a big family and having kids while in med school would be very hard, but I also want a career before I start to have kids. Another being that doctors are much more respected by the community and peers if they were a nurse first. It will also give me better bedside manners and make me more knowledgeable in treating the whole patient, not just their diagnosis! That's what nursing is all about.
I have a lot of patience and thoroughly enjoy learning about the body and all things medical, so hopefully that feeling will stay!
Thanks for the question!!
