JCawyer,
I think I understand what you are saying here. You work as a nurse, right? I also work as a nurse along with pursing my degree in Genetics to evenually go to medical school. I think you are right about the "know it all" attitude, if you have it loose it. As a nurse you are well experienced in the medical field and are exposed to many things. However, there is alway room to learn. Besides a doc, as you know, is waaaay different than a nurse. Somethings are the same though, and that would be the patient. I also know several docs that began as a nurse and they are wonderful at what they do. When interviewing have the attitude that: I worked as a nurse and experienced these awesome things, but remember the reason why you want to be a doc. As a nurse you are involved in the patients line of care a great deal, but a doc is a caregiver, a director, a problem solver and an artist. I think though you have the right idea. Sounds like you are proud to be a nurse and are greatful to experience the involvement that you have, but something is driving you to pursue a docs career. Good luck, I think you have the right idea.
