Looking for help developing a roadmap to a medical school-friendly degree

I may just do that when my kids get a little older. I have 4 under the age of 6. I’m hoping to pursue a direct entry msn degree followed by np cert in the meantime and then pursue md/do if I’m unhappy as a mid level provider. My undergrad degree was 4.0 last 3 years, but my first year of cc 15 years before that I failed out due to a severely ill child. I’d have to bring my science gpa up quite a bit, quiiiiite a bit to apply to medical school as it stands.

That's a linear, practical plan toward NP. Real life happens and not everyone is able to have a "perfect" academic record. The important thing is that you fix what you can fix and move forward toward your goal. Depending on where you're willing to work (location and specialty), NP can be very lucrative too. The physician path can be a huge hassle, that only gets bigger as you get into internship/residency.

Indeed. Though I suspect I won’t be happy unless I advance to physician. I just don’t see it happening in the next 5 years, so why not use this time and the flexibility of nursing education to be an np. That’s the plan anyway. God willing.
