Could you get your bachelors in nursing then go into dental school?

Answer 1

I would think that you could probably have a degree in any major because it is good to try out a lot of different career paths when you are working towards your bachelors degree. All dental schools have some required classes that you have to take before you go into dental school. You need to check into the individual requirements for the dental schools that you are interested in attending.

Answer 2

Definately. But you need the medical prerequisite courses that you didn't take as a nursing student. Such as Chem 2, Physics, etc. Go to your advisor at your undergrad school and tell him/her you're interested in medicine instead of nursing.

Answer 3

It is a possibility. However, you should ask yourself, "why this kind of approach?" I would suggest you line up your priorities. Create a vision for yourself, which is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. Be specific! Then develop a road-map with short-term objectives leading to your overall career goals and objectives. If you are specific, your approach will become clear. Just remember that dental schools are highly competitive. Thus, the following.

Before venturing off into nursing with the intention of going on to dental school, I would do some research to determine the prerequisites required for dental school. They may match up with what you complete in nursing, or they might be slightly different. Talk to a career counselor at the college or university you enroll in for more detail and appropriate information particular to your career goals.

Answer 4

That is a possibility. You should have a strong foundation in Biology, chemistry, physics, health, and mathematics.

Answer 5

Many/Most colleges have pre-professional degrees such as pre-dental, pre-med, pre-law, pre-vet that most people pursuing those professions take.
