My mother was a nurse for 14 years before starting medical school, and at her 40s she graduated and became a resident. Even a former nurse can become a doctor.
This is very inspiring! I am 23 years old about to graduate with my 2nd degree in with a BSN (ABSN) at NYU. Currently in my last sequence. Throughout my clinical rotations, it really opened my eyes that I wanted to be more than a nurse. I seen some bad apples (doctors) and their interactions with patients while I a student nurse idling standing by observing and can't do much. I would never want anyone to experience that and it just motivated me 110%. I'll try my best and work hard and keep my head high! If MD isn't what God wants me to do, I'll continue onward with my BSN degree and keep moving forward! Keep up the awesome work!
I'm 29 and will become an LPN in January of next year. Mostly spent a decade messing with retail work until I finally went back to school. After that I wish to go for ADN and then finish my medical transfer track for uni to aim for their med program. I feel discouraged sometimes and my classmates say it's too long and not to do it. But i'd rather be 39/40 years old as a Doctor than that one nurse filled with regret. Nothing wrong with nursing whatsoever. But i'm just so fascinated with the human anatomy and everything medical. It's like a spark that took ten years to go off.
I loved hearing you say you understand both sides. I'm a surgery nurse and definitely feel like some surgeons have that God complex and dont care about helping the nurse or show us any respect. I wish more people in the doctor or surgeons role felt that way.
This is very inspiring im 28 and 2 weeks from graduating from my Bachelor of nursing with a graduate position next year at the major hospital where I live here in Gold Coast Australia. I decided to do nursing first so that I can gain clinical knowledge and skills and build on my own attributes so that I can later pursue medicine.
Hey . How are you? I am from Bangladesh. I want to get admission as doctor in our country . But I can’t bit the high competition of our country. Now I want to go to Australia to be nursing so that I can connected to hospital industry. After becoming a nurse then I want to be a doctor. It’s impossible to get a medical school from our country. I want to know about the real truth about this nursing profession. 1. How hard to be a nurse? 2. How much time it takes? 3. How much it cost? 4. Is it a stressful job? 5. How much I can earn to be a nurse ( especially aus)? 6. Can I shift to a doctor in Australia? 7. What about the job industry ? Is it fair for the job? 8. What is the impact of mental health ? Can you reach out through the social media.
I am so happy I found this channel, I will be going to university to become a RN. I always wanted to be a doctor but because I didn’t have Higher level maths and physics I thought it wasn’t possible. I will be going back to college to do courses in maths and physics, then I have high hopes of going to med school, I have spoken to a Doctor and told her about my dreams and she said it’s still possible to become a doctor through nursing. Needless to say I didn’t believe her...but now...now. I have a reason to believe again and just need to trust God that he carries me through it. Thank you for mentioning that you were a nurse, you placed a new found hope into my inner being. Thank you!
I never knew you were a nurse before, Dr. Webb. That's awesome. I'm currently an LVN down here in Houston, finishing up my RN/BSN and the last 5 classes needed to apply to med school. This is great to hear, I'll take any edge I can get.

You are such an inspiration! I started my career out as a respiratory therapist then went back to school for nursing. Now I'm an NP and ready for the next chapter! You and everyone in the comments have me excited to start the process of going to med school :D
Thank you brother ! I’m currently working towards my BSN and thinking long term would love to become a doctor and I’ll probably be 30 yrs old if the timing is right with Med school & residency after my bachelors. This brought me peace knowing it’s possible, thank you 🙏🏼

Good Day, could you do a video on how you transitioned from being an LPN to where you are now? Eg how did you go about getting your prerequisites for medical school, did you work while doing so, if yes how did you maintain a balanced life, did you do a bachelor degree before medical school, did you do it while working as a nurse, how did you balance that, what was your major, what activities were you involved in etc. Thank you in advance!
there are a lot of benefits in UAB where you get a lot of benefits like free tution or discounted when you work fulltime or partime im not sure look into it
Hey Dr.Webb, I have been looking for a video like this for ages but I’m happy I came across yours. I am a physiotherapy graduate and I have been wanting to switch careers. Would love to move to a different country (I’m from India) to pursue my MD but definitely need more guidance since the system here is completely different. Much appreciate your work! 💕

Nkululeko Zungu lol nurses are NOT at the bottom. Wait til you’re a patient...you’ll see that nurses run hospitals. We’re the ones who do the actual chest compressions and med administrations when your heart stops. You’ll learn
Nurses are not at “the bottom of the food chain”, not even because it’s immorally wrong to say that, but because a nurse’s salary is at an average band compared to the other staff in the hospital requiring less qualifications. Be careful with your words
Hello, I am active duty e-3 Air force 4N1 Surgical technician. Im working on my nursing degree to hopefully get to become CRNA one day or go to medical school and become a anesthesiologist. (not sure which one yet) Thank you for your video and your service.

Orthopedic surgeon, former nurse....that care you provide must be of high standards... Congratulations you've really come a long way...am still a critical carenurse Hoping to join med school...later orthopedics..
I was an Army Medic and am a nurse now and am going to start NP school. I’d love to do medical school instead but it’s just not the best path for a 33 year old with 3 kids. It’s very tempting but seems unwise. In a few years I could be a CRNP versus in more than a decade being an MD. And a good part of that I would be going down significantly in wages.

Just found out you were a nurse before and i was like Whaaaaaaaa!?!?!? !!!! I was talking w some advisors recently and they made it sound so hard 😭😭😭 they said i should really consider NP or CRNA before actually pursuing Med school 😅
I am an RN working in ER. I am so passionate about going to medical school.But I have only 2 years of RN experience. I don't know if I should gain more experience to got to medical school or if it is ok .

+GoldenGoku Hi, Thanks for the comment and watching! I would say keep doing what you are doing and keep making good grades. I think you have time to pull up your GPA.

Ax3L hey man I really hope you get this, but plss do not fret about high school, and do your self and your wallet a favor and go to community college, there you can take prerequisites for your dream school, get excellent grades (if you apply yourself) and transfer to your undergrad uni which will most likely accept you if you have followed the path to get in (ASSIST) but high school is a joke don’t hesitate do your best but there is no point in tryning to go straight to a uní after hs only after you get to college worry about your grades trustyt
Sir you are amazing I’m in between the process of joining military reserve army I did rotc at my college but right now I’m working as a Cna I’m going for LVN and I will finish my ROTC to go inas a Officer in army later. I want to become a army doctor in the future I need some advice so I advise me to go for LVN school and enlist in army reserve or me work as a Cna and finish getting my BS degree and apply to medical school. Thank you sir. I really want to go military and do LVN while I’m going to school. But I guess it’s better if I just finish my school and ROTC and maybe later apply to DO MD school
Both are good routes. Military route may take you longer bc of more obligations but you will have more financial assistance. Cons would be the chance to deploy, being sent to bases that you may not want to go, etc. The army will actually train you as an LVN, so if you can get a guaranteed job, that will prob be best if you decide to take that route!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. thank you sir so much I’m going to do LVN and join reserve afterwards go for my bsn at APU and while I’m doing that I’ll finish rotc program and go in army as Officer and apply to do school later in I heard they have HSPH program
I know for sure that I want to be a physician but I really don’t know what to major in. There is nothing that I like. I just want a major that would best help me to get into medical school. Is there any majors you would recommend?
I want to enter the coast guard part time while going to college to become a nurse. I could go to a four year but I don't feel ready yet. I feel like I need more discipline, but I don't know if that's wise...
I'm an MA finishing up my dual degree in biochem/physics. During my internship I worked with orthopedic surgeons. After being introduced to something greater I decided to pursue medicine. It hasn't been easy but I can't wait to have that MD or DO. What you say is true, it give you a different perspective starting from the bottom up. I think you end up having less ego
Definitely didn't know this! Very inspirational. Just took the MCAT, also a civilian and Army RN. How long was your RN career and did you employ this in your personal statement?
This was great! I share your same testimony of military 4N071, except when I got out I got my BSN instead. Now im looking for my first job as a nurse and came across your channel! new subscriber and awesome testimony!! Did you use your GI Bill to go through medical school?
So how old were you when you barely had went to medical school because I am looking at currently joining the United States Army enjoying the 75th Ranger medic and being a Green Beret medic so I'm looking around a total of 8 years in the service before I go into medical school and I am currently 18
Awesome man! I met a green beret the other day. He is an orthopedic surgeon now! I took exactly that path and went in the military at age 17 and then did 8 years and got out to go to medical school! I started medical school at age 27/28
That's awesome your an inspiration! Hope to one day accomplish it all like you have done orthopedic spine surgeon is what i want after the millitary. Thank you for your service and thank you for the reply.
Hello Doctor. Thanks for the video. I am a 2year Associate Degree RN degree in nursing. Do i need to have a Bsn Degree in nursing before medical school or can i just go ahead with the prerequisites for medical school to take my MCAT after my associate RN degree?
Bro I’m in the same situation but remember you can do bachelors in nursing online just one year . So you could choose to do mcat before or after , we could talk
Deep down I wanna be a doc preferably in the Cardiac area but I’m an RN in a cardiac unit and I feel so hopeless just don’t know if it’s possible to pursue medicine in the MD route
I think you apply as international student. If I were you I would find out schools that I like to apply to and contact them specifically about what you need to submit for admissions as an international student

Thank you so much this is encouraging. I'm in the works to becoming a nurse I want the experience for med school for the same reason.
I want to go down the same path as you. I spent 6 years in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and am almost done with my Bachelors in Nursing. I want to be either a Ortho or General Surgeon.
Awesome! You CAN do it! Its a long road but worth it in the end! Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions along the way!

How long does it take for you to get a bachelor's degree in nursing?
Thanks for keeping it real and sharing precise extensive information the process of nursing to medical school 🤔🤓🎯
This is soo inspiring , I’m a graduate nurse and want to Study medicine 🇬🇭
Do it!
You never know will life will take you. Good for you!
Good Day, could you do a video on how you transitioned from being an LPN to where you are now? Eg how did you go about getting your prerequisites for medical school, did you work while doing so, if yes how did you maintain a balanced life, did you do a bachelor degree before medical school, did you do it while working as a nurse, how did you balance that, what was your major, what activities were you involved in etc. Thank you in advance!
AAA BBB its all in his book.
Thank you for your response.
AnKH what’s the name of the book?
I did not know this about you. Thank you for sharing and thank you for serving.
0 dislikes. I can see why
Can u please tell me all the steps and process to make a transition from nurse to doctor
Hellow, my email yoramnhayo@gmail.com
I really want to be a physician but it's expensive and a little possible for me... now I finished my nursing program but not satisfied with it 😐
there are a lot of benefits in UAB where you get a lot of benefits like free tution or discounted when you work fulltime or partime im not sure look into it
Hey Dr.Webb, I have been looking for a video like this for ages but I’m happy I came across yours. I am a physiotherapy graduate and I have been wanting to switch careers. Would love to move to a different country (I’m from India) to pursue my MD but definitely need more guidance since the system here is completely different. Much appreciate your work! 💕
You r such an inspiration I am currently in Nursing school in Australia love your videos
Awesome! Keep up the great work and stay in touch! I would love to visit Australia one day!
Dr. Webb keepin it real 💯
Thanks David! 🙏🏾
Air Force 4NO veteran here, challenging the Missouri board of nursing. Hoping to pursue higher medicine.
I’ve watched his channel for so long and never knew that
I like your videos, I'm taking the prerequisites for Nursing right now and I want to be a Nurse Anesthetist.

All the way from the bottom of the Food Chain, now you at the Top - Orthopedic Surgery...Your Success is traceable ...Its all remarkable!
'bottom of the food chain' Nurses and doctors both are EQUAL in the medical field. One cannot work without the other.
Started from the bottom now we here!!!
Nkululeko Zungu lol nurses are NOT at the bottom. Wait til you’re a patient...you’ll see that nurses run hospitals. We’re the ones who do the actual chest compressions and med administrations when your heart stops. You’ll learn
Who are you calling bottom?! MD, RN, VN, CNA, PT, or etc they are all same human being. Only different job descriptions.
Nurses are not at “the bottom of the food chain”, not even because it’s immorally wrong to say that, but because a nurse’s salary is at an average band compared to the other staff in the hospital requiring less qualifications. Be careful with your words
Hello, I am active duty e-3 Air force 4N1 Surgical technician. Im working on my nursing degree to hopefully get to become CRNA one day or go to medical school and become a anesthesiologist. (not sure which one yet) Thank you for your video and your service.

Same here, debating if I will take CRNA or Med school. Right now, I’m in the path for CRNA, already passed CCRN.
Orthopedic surgeon, former nurse....that care you provide must be of high standards... Congratulations you've really come a long way...am still a critical carenurse Hoping to join med school...later orthopedics..
you have motivated me brother. Thank you for this!
Great, this is motivational ! 👍🏽... I’m a LPN Shreveport native that’s currently premed.
Shout out to Shreveport! Thanks for watching Jasmine!
How long to do pre med after being a nurse?
I really want to get into being an first assist and also get my bsn . I absolutely love orthopedic medicine
Thank you doc 😭
I was an Army Medic and am a nurse now and am going to start NP school. I’d love to do medical school instead but it’s just not the best path for a 33 year old with 3 kids. It’s very tempting but seems unwise. In a few years I could be a CRNP versus in more than a decade being an MD. And a good part of that I would be going down significantly in wages.
I wish there was a bridge from CRNP to MD. But it seems like all roads to MD start from the beginning.
You're so inspiring Dr. Webb!!!!!

Seriously considering going back to school to be a doctor
Just wanted to say you’re awesome.
Just found out you were a nurse before and i was like Whaaaaaaaa!?!?!? !!!! I was talking w some advisors recently and they made it sound so hard 😭😭😭 they said i should really consider NP or CRNA before actually pursuing Med school 😅
They always do that but do more research Bc I’m in the same situation
Hello, were you able to enter the medical school?
God speed brother ❤
YES BLACK MAN! Military and a doctor?! Hats off to you Sir 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hi. Did you have to quit your nursing job when you were accepted into medical school?
I am an RN working in ER. I am so passionate about going to medical school.But I have only 2 years of RN experience. I don't know if I should gain more experience to got to medical school or if it is ok .

I don't think they look at your experience as a RN. You can go to school now if you want to.
I have a lower high school gpa at 3.2 as of the start of my sophoromore year in highschool... is it still possible to get into med school? I am currently partaking in all the possible honors and ap classes present as a sophomore.
+GoldenGoku
Hi,
Thanks for the comment and watching! I would say keep doing what you are doing and keep making good grades. I think you have time to pull up your GPA. College is most important however when applying to medical school so just make sure when you get to college that you start of strong and make good grades but keep up the good work! 👍🏽

what you do in high school has little effect on your post-undergrad life... so, yeah, it's very possible. just get into college first, lol
Ax3L hey man I really hope you get this, but plss do not fret about high school, and do your self and your wallet a favor and go to community college, there you can take prerequisites for your dream school, get excellent grades (if you apply yourself) and transfer to your undergrad uni which will most likely accept you if you have followed the path to get in (ASSIST) but high school is a joke don’t hesitate do your best but there is no point in tryning to go straight to a uní after hs only after you get to college worry about your grades trustyt
I was a Security Guard now I’m a Doctor M.D. with Post Doctorate In Trauma Surgery from Cornell University.
isaac alexis 🤦♂️
I want to become a surgan, but I have to go the long route because I struggle with school. But I have a passion for medicine.
Thanku sir u clear my mind .I have same plan as well.
You are goals !
Thank you!
I want to be a CRNA but at the same time I want to be an orthopedic surgeon and I was thinking that I should try the CRNA then later go into surgery.
Sir you are amazing I’m in between the process of joining military reserve army I did rotc at my college but right now I’m working as a Cna I’m going for LVN and I will finish my ROTC to go inas a Officer in army later. I want to become a army doctor in the future I need some advice so I advise me to go for LVN school and enlist in army reserve or me work as a Cna and finish getting my BS degree and apply to medical school. Thank you sir. I really want to go military and do LVN while I’m going to school. But I guess it’s better if I just finish my school and ROTC and maybe later apply to DO MD school
Both are good routes. Military route may take you longer bc of more obligations but you will have more financial assistance. Cons would be the chance to deploy, being sent to bases that you may not want to go, etc. The army will actually train you as an LVN, so if you can get a guaranteed job, that will prob be best if you decide to take that route!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. thank you sir so much I’m going to do LVN and join reserve afterwards go for my bsn at APU and while I’m doing that I’ll finish rotc program and go in army as Officer and apply to do school later in I heard they have HSPH program
I know for sure that I want to be a physician but I really don’t know what to major in. There is nothing that I like. I just want a major that would best help me to get into medical school. Is there any majors you would recommend?
very motivational. thank you.
I want to enter the coast guard part time while going to college to become a nurse. I could go to a four year but I don't feel ready yet. I feel like I need more discipline, but I don't know if that's wise...
I'm an MA finishing up my dual degree in biochem/physics. During my internship I worked with orthopedic surgeons. After being introduced to something greater I decided to pursue medicine. It hasn't been easy but I can't wait to have that MD or DO. What you say is true, it give you a different perspective starting from the bottom up. I think you end up having less ego
Definitely didn't know this! Very inspirational.
Just took the MCAT, also a civilian and Army RN. How long was your RN career and did you employ this in your personal statement?
This was great! I share your same testimony of military 4N071, except when I got out I got my BSN instead. Now im looking for my first job as a nurse and came across your channel! new subscriber and awesome testimony!! Did you use your GI Bill to go through medical school?
Awesome! Thank you for your service! And yes, I used it for medical school
How old was you when you when started your residency? I’m 31 and I start my pre med may 6 2024. I’m also an RN
I was 29/30
@@antoniowebbmd I guess I’ll be an old man by the time I finish. Thank you 🙏🏾 congrats on your success
I'm a registered nurse too and I'm now pre-med.
does it take more years than normal doctor to be a doctor after becoming a nurse?
Hello, I just discovered your channel. Do RNs in the USA receive any undergraduate or preparatory training before studying medicine?
So how old were you when you barely had went to medical school because I am looking at currently joining the United States Army enjoying the 75th Ranger medic and being a Green Beret medic so I'm looking around a total of 8 years in the service before I go into medical school and I am currently 18
Joining *
Awesome man! I met a green beret the other day. He is an orthopedic surgeon now! I took exactly that path and went in the military at age 17 and then did 8 years and got out to go to medical school! I started medical school at age 27/28
That's awesome your an inspiration! Hope to one day accomplish it all like you have done orthopedic spine surgeon is what i want after the millitary. Thank you for your service and thank you for the reply.
Wow, wonderful video! I've been looking for a video that explains if it's possible or not to become a doctor after being a nurse. Thank you so much!
If it's possible?
I’m in the navy getting started on Nursing school
Awesome career background!
have you ever experienced burn-out after classes or exams 📝
What kind of test you gave? How you prepared? Kindly let us know.
Am a. First-year taking BSN, I have passion of becoming MD how long will it take me to become a doctor in my further studies?
wait waaaat i’m currently on the nursing route but i wanna use that to become a md after getting my RN
I am a civil engineering and accountant
I want study at medical school
to be surgeon
my question is
what are the steps to achieve to my goal?
Hello Doctor. Thanks for the video. I am a 2year Associate Degree RN degree in nursing. Do i need to have a Bsn Degree in nursing before medical school or can i just go ahead with the prerequisites for medical school to take my MCAT after my associate RN degree?
You need a bachelors
Bro I’m in the same situation but remember you can do bachelors in nursing online just one year . So you could choose to do mcat before or after , we could talk
Deep down I wanna be a doc preferably in the Cardiac area but I’m an RN in a cardiac unit and I feel so hopeless just don’t know if it’s possible to pursue medicine in the MD route
Go for it!
Hey Antonio I’m currently 18 and going to the airforce do u think I should do 8 years to become a doctor I’ll be 28
I have recently done my bsn can I take admission for Md
I’m a nurse too🙏🏽 I got my degree in KSA I want to study medicine in us how ?I’m not citizen I will be thankful 🥲
I think you apply as international student. If I were you I would find out schools that I like to apply to and contact them specifically about what you need to submit for admissions as an international student
Hi, Antonio. What MD schools did you apply to and get except to?
HOlly shit dude what you did is my current plan thank you so much for this video
