Do you think i should learning nursing first before i became a pediatrician?

Question

I heard people says pediatrician take a lot of time. they said it will be better to sturdy nursing first. i want to know what do you think.

Answer 1

Well it does take a lot of time , and if you need money while going to school nursing is a good job.
I personally think nurses make better doctors they understand the patients better they deal with them better. They are less likely to pass something off on someone else.Nurses generally seem more caring and willing to listen. I think all dr's should be responsible for doing some nursing duties before they graduate they are not too good to change a bedpan, or comfort a crying patient.
So sure go for nursing you may find you get to spend more time with each patient getting to know them and helping them ...you may like it better but be prepared it is hard work.

Answer 2

It is possible, but over time, it will end up being a burden on you to the point where you'll want to pick one or the other. Pediatricians, the ones I've come across anyways, are on call 24/7, so may your God forbid that as your giving a sermon and you get a call, you'll have to leave the sermon. Unless you set up shop in a small town where there is no other doctor and they're looking for a pastor, then you've hit the jackpot. Or you can do missionary work. Either way, you shouldn't really need advise from other people, do what your heart says to do, that is the Holy Spirit, follow what it says, not others. Just keep in mind that the US and many other countries need doctors badly. Pastors are abundant. But that shouldn't stop you from doing both. Just think about your options and consider each one carefully. "Love of God is one thing, knowledge of life is another." -Egyptian Proverb

Answer 3

It will take an extra couple years to go to nursing school. If you know you want to be a pediatrician, then going to college for pre-med makes sense as long as you get grades high enough to get into med school. Yes, takes a long time to become a pediatrician, but it'll take just as long after nursing school if you do that first.

Answer 4

u start out by teachign nursing classes then take an exam to get ur cna ( certified nursing assitant,) then u can get a job at a ped. office to practice becomign a pediatrician. Then there college which take a long time with the 4yrs and the residency adn other sutff.

Answer 5

Not required ,Though nurse have hands on experience and they are better than doctors in practical experiences, they canot priscribe drugs though they do it it is not legal ,so doing pediatrician u have an upper hand both positions wise as well as theroitical knowlede wise .I think basic practical experience is included in ur cource, and nurses are always there to help u, i think u must concentrate in pediatrician.Gud luck

Answer 6

I think you set a great goal and wish you the best, but from reading your "question" I noticed your English took a real beating, You have to have a Solid Background in basics before becoming something greater. If I was your patient and heard talk to me, like you write I would gone faster than a speeding bullet,,,, lol Go For IT and success is waiting for the determined and patient!!

Answer 7

Well lets call time money,

if that is the case then no.

Because you will owe more money or spend more money getting both degrees. Plus you may end up just being a nurse if something happens that makes you work.

Answer 8

If your goal is to become a Pediatrician why mess around? Go for your ultimate goal now.

Answer 9

It does indeed take a long time to get you MD and then specialize in pidiatrics. However, if you get your nursing degree, it might even take longer.

Answer 10

you'll be taking basic courses to be a nurse anyway, so you might as well start out with nursing, and build onto that.
