what premed degree should i take for med school

what premed degree should i take for med school?
I want to go to med school cause i have a passion for medicine and i love the sciences. I have a few options. this janurary i am starting school and taking my pre-requisites, if i take two summer classes i can get it done in a year then go into nursing, when done nursing school i can apply to med school, cause if i don't get in, then at least i would be a nurse. My thing is i am 26 so it would be nice to get into med school sooner, therefore i have decided to take two math classes making the one year of pre-reqs turn into a year and a bit. now i dont have to do this but it really opens up the possibilities for me to apply to other schools across canada and into the states. so considering all of this and wanting to get my degrees done as soon as possible i have been leaning towards the idea of getting my 4 year science degree then applying to med school. If i dont get accepted to med school i can always take the two year nursing course only available to people with a previous degree. my thing is that if i dont get accepted into med school i dont want to be doing research making $19 an hour. I make more than that now with no education.. and my goal is to work in a hospital not research. anyhow... what do you think.. should i go nursing or science as my degree? take the math classes? should i double major or will that just make things harder for me thus not getting as good of grades. neuroscience and pharmacology is what i was thinking. however there is a few classes of neuroscience that seem uninteresting as i read them, thinking it might be harder to get better grades. haha otherwise physiology as one or taking physical science as a minor cause i think physics and planet science is interesting as well. would that be weird majoring in neuro and minor in earth and planet science. haha again should i double major. so many questions. sorry about the story book, but thanks for your time.

Immigration to Canada

Immigration to Canada?
Hello, I am a recent university graduate and I am thinking of getting a second university degree rather than applying for the post graduate work permit.......I found getting a work experience in skilled jobs really tough, because employer often asks me if I have 2 years of experience in the occupation, which I don't have (I just got out of the university!!) If I go for my second degree in nursing, would it help? or can you guys suggest any major that will help me easily attain the skilled work experience? thanks

Major in something that qualifies as a skilled occupation if you are planning on immigrating. You will have to find a job after school to gain the required experience. If you thinking of nursing be aware that Canada requires RNs to have a 4 year BSN for licensure.

US Nursing license doesn't valid in Canada. If you want to immigrate to Canada, apply college in Canada obtain nursing degree and license and look for employment in Canada. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

You will have to take the Provincial any Province) R.N. exams to work in Canada.... The economy is so bad Nurses are being laid off or frozen out of work....The situation will improve but it won't be for a while. It is not so easy to get into Canada....there are a lot of loops you have to jump over and this is why Canada remains such a wonderful country.

YES Nurses are in demand in Canada so if you train in USA you will have to sit the provincial nursing exam (this depends on which province you choose to live in) to prove your knowledge but otherwise you should be accpeted to immigrate after you graduate AND after you have worked for at least 1 year. you do need to save up money in case you cant find a job in Canada. It is NOT necessary to look for a job in Canada but if you dont find a job you have to have CAN $11,000 minimum, saved up to live on while you do look for a job.

find someone that is Canadian and tie the knot & you don't have to worry :) do it for love tho!!

can my boyfriend help me go to canada even if he's still financially supported by his dad

can my boyfriend help me go to canada even if he's still financially supported by his dad?
My boyfriend is a permanent resident in Canada and we're planning on getting married here in the Philippines so he could sponsor me to become a permanent resident there. I just graduated with a BSN degree and I would like to work in Canada as a registered nurse. So we're just wondering about a few things: 1.) My boyfriend quit his job recently and his father's basically the one supporting him financially. Is it still possible for him to sponsor me as a spouse? 2.) What requirements do I need to be able to work as a registered nurse in Canada? Do I have to have a number of years of experience in the Philippines? I hope you can help me dear friends :)

not sure about question 1 but you'll have to continue your education here before you can be hired as a nurse unfortunatly.............this may take 2-4 years to get ur BN or RN (Bachelor of nursing or Registered nurse)
