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.

I went from EMT, I’ve been an ICU RN for 4 years now, starting med school in July

DR WEBB, YOU WERE A NURSE?! Wow, just more of a kick to get me into MD. BSN to MD here I go!

[Kwicdrawmcgraw]

It's freaky how much we have in common. Ex military (Army and Air National Guard), I'm a current nurse, and I'm attempting to become a doctor.

[raysgirl]

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.

[msprettynurse]

OMG I just subbed you channel a couple of days ago. That is awesome to know you that you were a nurse prior to becoming an MD. I'm an RN so this is super inspirational! Blessings to you

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.

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 🙏🏼

[anthonyrivera]

Bro you’re straight up getting after it. Congratulations and I wish you the best success.

[Robe-chgd]

Great video, I'm currently a RRT doing pre-med. Its not easy but it will be worth it in the end.

[Cookiebear_dhx]

This gave me so much hope. 🥲🤍 THANK YOU.

[theonewithjen]

you’re inspiring! since I was in high school I wanted to become a doctor but I want to enjoy my youth so from 18-24 I just worked and went out
I started community college at 24 in currently finishing up my lvn program but I am leading towards finishing up and getting my bs to apply to med school

[treymartinez]

I want to say this motivated me even more being a veteran myself I got out the military in 2016 while I was in I was a MP and. Because I didnt see my self in law enforcement became a emt few weeks after being discharged fell in love with EMS and the health care system cause I didnt know what I wanted I start nursing school soon but I dont plan on stoping there thank you for posting this

[nagraar]

I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work!

[tonysoprano]

Thank you researching for my wife and thanks for your service and thanks for making this video short and quick

[caseytodd]

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.

[queendoss]

Thanks for keeping it real and sharing precise extensive information the process of nursing to medical school 🤔🤓🎯

[KC-tihr]

You are truly an inspiration! My life has brought me full circle from being a MBA Project Manager to applying for med school. This was a dream of yore but I got exhausted with studies and detoured in my early career. Thank you for reminding me that this dream can (and will) come true even as I am in my early 30s. 👍🏽😉

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.
