    I have seen her starting off as a carer in a nursing home while at School, joining St John Ambulance and becoming a community first responder, go right through her nursing training and qualify. She was a damn good nurse in the time she worked as one, as she was a carer, St John member and CFR and put her all into every one of those files in the time she was doing it. Does it matter if she has now gone on to do her medicine training as surely doing her time as nurse will only make her a better Doctor and as for wasting a space, I have seen hospitals short staffed on too many occasions to know that couldn't be further from the truth, they need every nurse they can get.

    Can you do a video on radiographer to medicine. I'm currently doing therapeutic radiography and really enjoy it atm. And the level of anatomy has made me really interested in medicine and maybe in the future I might apply for post grad entry medicine but I guess I'll just take everything as it comes

      @@OllieBurtonMed Thank you. It will be very interesting what they think as i dont think my course has much depth into the anatomy. But we learn a lot about cancer and so on and radiation. However i heard diagnostic radiography is much different to therapeutic radiography as theres less patient contact and less about treatment and more about getting good medical imaging.

    I wanted to be a Doctor, as I was doing my A-levels, unfortunately at this time I had some difficulties in life, and didn’t get the grades acquired nor did I pass the Gamsat, however I took a few years out of Education, I’m now 24 finishing an access to health course and hoping to enrol on a paediatric nursing course in September, I would like to ask, how you found yourself in a position to apply for medicine and how long does this route take from starting a nursing degree to finishing medical school and qualifying as a doctor?

    • @OllieBurtonMed
      @OllieBurtonMed  3 года назад +1

      Hi there! In terms of how long it takes, it's 3 years for the nursing degree + 4 or 5 years of medical school depending on the exact course you join, so 7-8 years in total after which you'd be a newly qualified doctor. Beyond that it's usually 5-10 years of further training to become a specialist/consultant.
      Em worked for several years as an A&E nurse and then applied for medicine, and she has just passed finals so is now a doctor!

    I am a registered nurse in UK since early 2020.I dream to become a doctor..Is it hard to enter into a graduate entry programme?And will I be able to work along with the studies?Also how about the fees and student loans?

    • @OllieBurtonMed
      @OllieBurtonMed  3 года назад +1

      Competition is around 20 applicants per place for graduate entry medicine, so it is reasonably hard but very achievable. You can work alongside studies but usually not in the first year due to the intensity of the course. Fees wise you have to pay approximately £3500 at the start of the course but everything else is covered by student loans. If you want to study a 5 year programme then it costs £9250 per year

    Hi. How much is the tuition in med school per year in total? It’s my dream too. I hope youll notice this query 😊

    • @OllieBurtonMed
      @OllieBurtonMed  4 года назад

      It's £9250 per year in the UK, as are all degree courses usually. If you're studying on a 5 year undergraduate course or a 4 year graduate entry course then it's covered by student loans (apart from 3.3K in Y1 of grad entry medicine). It's a lot more for international students so will depend on your choices!

    How long gone to taken from a nursing degree to medical school to finish?
    As a nurse do you have to start the first year of medical school or 3rd year of medical school?
    I hope I will hear from you .

    • @OllieBurtonMed
      @OllieBurtonMed  2 года назад

      Will answer this here - you have to start from the first year of medical school. A nursing degree does not save any time off the medical course as the courses are completely different.

      She gave three years service to the NHS, thats pretty good - I’m a nurse and a lot of the people I trained with either dropped out during the course or only lasted a year or two before quitting nursing to do something completely different because of the hard working conditions (permanently understaffed, no breaks etc). Plus everything she learnt as a nurse won’t be a waste, patients will benefit from that knowledge and experience when being cared for by her as a doctor
