mdamda Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Could anyone shed light on accelerated nursing program as a second degree and an option to applying to medical school? Has anyone been through the experience and if so how do the courses pass and fail qualify to be considered for medical school. Any information or a referred link to other sources would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can make applying to medical school a little more tricky, but definitely possible. In terms of eligibility the pass/fail classes are not able to be counted in gpa calculation- meaning that any year that has more than 1 full credit pass/fail is not able to be counted as one of two years for the schools that look at marks that way. For ex. only my first and second year are considered full time due to this criteria, although all of them most certainly were. On the plus side you get amazing hospital experience from nursing and I truly believe it brings a unique perspective to medicine. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
