Nurses go to Nursing School. Depending on what type of nurse they wish to become determines which type of school they attend. An LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) goes to school for approximately 18 months. An RN (Registered Nurse) goes to school for either 2 or 4 years, dependent on whether the individual is pursuing an Asscoiates Degree of Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelors Degree of Nursing (BSN). Medical School is for physicians. After completing a Bachelors Degree, in any subject as long as the science reuirements are met, a person attends four years of medical school. After the four years of medical school the individual is a Doctor but can not practice independently until they have completed their residency. Residency lengths vary based upon what speciality they wish to pursue.

∙ 14y agoNo, you do not go to medical school. The nurse practitioner is at present a master's degree. However, some pursue a doctorate in nursing. Still, it is not medical school in terms of a physician.

∙ 13y agoYes. Nurses actual have basic understanding of medical concepts and need education. And a degree as good as that needs a college degree. I don't think you need to go to Med School though.

Should you get your associates in nursing before the bachelor's degree?
Well if you know that you want to go ahead and get your bachelors in nursing there is no need to obtain your associates because you will still go through the same program and classes. It would just basically be an extension of classes from your associates. So If you want a bachelors in nursing, enroll in the bachelors nursing program, not the associates.
If you are a LPN what is the next step nurse you can become?
Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse (diploma), Registered Nurse with B.S. degree, Nurse Practitioner. All of these are nurses.
