Which gives me a better chance of employment.
Im not keen on job hunting or waiting for employment.
I’ll much rather be employed permanently and settle down.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Science with no Nursing background.

I intend to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist some where down the line, but I would not mind being a Nurse Practitioner except I hate to prescribe drugs because I wouldnt use them myself.

Does it make more sense to do the bachelor of nursing science because I have no nursing/medical background and so it would be easier?

Or will it be better to do the master of nursing since there is the option of me completing it in the same time as the Bachelor of nursing science and I will have to do it eventually if I am to specialise as a nurse.

And will it be easy for a Nurse Anesthetist to get a job?

I already have my bachelors in science and am going to graduate school for my masters. I would like to know which Medical schools in America do not require a person to actually take the mcat, but still be considered for admission on the grounds of transcripts, work related experience, and any other extra volunteer activities?

glitter_star321 asked:


I am in my first semester of college right now and I am majoring in bioengineering. However, I am planning to go to medical school and I am beginning to think that I can major in something a little easier such as biology or biochemistry. Would medical schools be impressed with a bioengineering degree, or would it be better to switch to a science degree instead? I dont want to go through all the stress if a bioengineering degree doesnt really give me an edge as a medical school applicant. Any suggestions/opinions?
