text: can somebody who has their bachelors degree in nursing become a doctor? how long would it take about? what are the requirements? take the mcat's, do well on them (which you probably should.)  apply to med school of your choice...go into serious debt.  med school is 3 years, then you intern and have your residency (which i believe is another 3 years).  you then can practice in general medicine, if you specialize, that's another residency.  but yes, someone with a bachelor's in nursing can be a doctor, most med schools don't require a pre-med degree to apply and be accepted.  the requirements for acceptance would depend on the med schools you're applying to.  best of luck to you.
