what would you rather be? a doctor? or a nurse?
Question:
Answers:
From your moniker, I'm guessing that you are premed and getting a little worried about the options. Assuming you've had the basic coursework, A&P, biology, chemisty, biochemistry, etc, you can get into either one. Nursing is definitely easier to get into than medical school. You can be out and earning money in about 2 years, though it you decide to wander on into being a practicioner, a nurse first assistant (to a surgeon), or another specialty, then you are going to earn a bit more (ok, sometimes a huge bit more).
If you decide to be a doctor and are lucky enough to get in, then you'll take about 3 years to go through school, then you have residency, and probably a little extra training. Oh, yes. and tuition bills out the wazoo.
Doctors tend to earn more, but have less stress than nurses. They have a different level of responsibility.
Nurses have to go under the guidance of a doctor. A nurse practitioner can write a prescription, but the doctor has to review it or sign off on it. Nurses need to work to orders. Doctors write the orders.
Doctors are one of two medical positions which are permitted to prescribe drugs without getting authorization. Nurses are not.
Follow your heart, and your luck. Some people in nursing absolutely love it. Others hate it or grow to hate it. . Some doctors love what they do, others don't.

I would b a doctor and do a nurse Why would they take a step down. I know that nurses work very hard, but doctors make a lot more money.
a doctor
nurse
why would a doctor go into nursing? those are two very different professions, and once someone has gone through the training of being a doctor, they are over-qualified to be a nurse.
there are different stressors and rewards to each profession.
I'm a nurse and i'm glad because I get to know patients very well, I don't have to work so many hours, and I have more freedom to have a personal/social life. of course, i don't make that much money, but you win some, you lose some.
not a doctor or a nurse.
Hmm. that would be very strange indeed, a doctor can make more than 20 times as much as a nurse, has greater freedom and responsibility and has more opportunities. e.g. become a surgeon, research etc. Both careers are very much in demand.
Also it takes more than 10 years to become a doctor.. it would be an enormous waste of training and money!
If a doctor becomes a nurse is because he or she cannot get State registration and has no other option.
DANG!
When I saw this question, I couldn't believe it. Are you just a.toying with us? I mean, I'm assuming you've got a little common sense, don't cha? Listen here.if YOU were already a doctor making the bucks.now, think about it.do you honestly think you would quit your career and become an overworked, bustin'-your-butt-for-way-less. NURSE?!! I'm not knocking the nursing career either.I'm saying.IF YOU WERE ALREADY A DOCTOR MAKING THE BUCKS.
