To be a doctor you have to go to 8 years of college, 4 years of under grad and 4 years of medical school. Then you have to do several years as an intern or resident at a hospital. To be a nurse you need have to go to 1 full year of NURSING school to get an LPN and 2 full years for an RN (this is after college). No, you cannot get promoted from a nurse to be a doctor. Never.

Male Doctors...Want Nurses to be their eyes and ears and watch hands on where they are too busy to stay with the patients having so many at once and they call the doctors the moment of a change in the condition...I find the doctors are lazy at times and want the nurses to wait on them hand and foot just because they are MEN and they have a degree and make more money Nurses well they have a degree and know more but are not doctors but follow doctors orders and are mostly dominated field by Women and we accept Males to help out in the daily care and the Males Make more at times as a Nurse...Note because they are MEN All in all they work hand in hand and trust each others judgement and question each other on the care of patients I feel Male or Female we are all the same it is the experience that counts and the length of time in the field that is all the difference and Nurses take 2 years where a doctor takes 8 or more...and are still in stages of rookie status... Life is by God so they can not control life or the healing process and it is a Medical Science it depends on how long you want to study and how long you are in practice...Male or Female is starting to blurr...

Doctors and nurses do completely different jobs.
Doctors are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries. They can prescribe medications, order tests and procedures, and perform surgery. (Not all DO perform surgery, but a medical license permits any doctor to do so.)
Nurses care for patients under nursing practice guidelines. They do things such as administer the medications that the doctor ordered, check vital signs, draw blood for the tests that the doctor ordered, and prepare a patient for or assist in surgery.
They are two separate professions. Nurses can become doctors by going to medical school.
There is a category of advanced training for nurses which allows them to do much of what a doctor does, but under a doctor's supervision. Nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and nurse anesthetists are examples of this advanced practice. What they can and cannot do is determined by state nursing boards.
If you cannot spell the work "what", you have no business becoming either a nurse or a doctor.

Doctors normally have a lot of specialized training in diagnotics - looking at symptoms and attempting to determine causes. Nurses normally do not have this training. There is a category of nursing called nurse practitioner, my sister in law just reached this level. This level of nurse is allowed to write prescriptions of a certain kind and to analyze problems, basically of internal medicine such as heart, lung, intestines, and infections, but is not allowed to do surgery or complicated reading of x-rays and other diagnostic tests. She has been a nurse for over 20 years and has taken extra courses of study and tests to achieve this level.

The main difference is in the level of education. My friend just finished her 4yr degree to be a RN, it covers a lot of basic medical knowledge but obviously not near to the level a doctorate is. As far as your question goes, really the only way for you to be "promoted" would be to finish your doctorate while you're working.

How old are you? 12? You have to get into and graduate Medical school first...neither of which is easy, then do a couple years as an intern (which is hell) then you can become a licensed physician. Nurse you need a nursing degree, nd no you can't get promoted.
