Can a nursing major go to medical school?

Yes. Nursing is a viable major for medical school, and your CNA license would give you useful hands-on patient experience too.

The main thing is that you still have to complete the medical school prerequisites, which can be hard to fit into a nursing program. You’ll likely need courses such as general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, physics, biochemistry, and other requirements depending on the schools you apply to.

You should look at the nursing curriculum at the colleges you’re considering and see whether you can realistically fit those classes in and one point that some nursing majors are packed enough that you may need summer classes or an extra year.

Your nursing background could give you a strong perspective for medical school, especially if you enjoy patient care. Just make sure you want to become a physician rather than choosing nursing mainly as a backup plan.
