You need to first get into med school. In India, being a nurse has no advantages for getting into med school. After you finish you MBBS, internship, cardiology & surgery specializations (MS), then you become a full-fledged cardio-thoracic surgeon. It will take 10+ years assuming you already have admission into a Med School. My uncle is a cardiologist (no longer doing surgeries, though). He finished Med school in 1975 (Med School in India is 4.5 years). He did not finish his fellowships, etc, in Universities till 1980, before he was a cardiologist. So it took him 10 years, assuming you are as brilliant as him, as he was a topper. In the US, getting into Med school is not that easy either. Med school in the US will cost you over $100K in expenses (living, food, tuition, etc. over 5 years.

well, do you have any sort of resident status here???? Permesso di sorgiorno? Citizenship papers? anything? Or do you think you can just waltz in and get a job because your degree has been translated? it's a little trickier than all that.

Is there scope for nurses in the near future or is it saturated
Is there scope for nurses in the near future or is it saturated?
I am a 30-year-old single girl. I was so passionate about nursing that I quit a job of 10 years. I knew i had to sacrifice my time working a lot when i pursue this degree (BSN) and that my old parents would get less attention.... yet I did all that... I even have a dream of doing masters and end up either as a CRNA or CNM, for which i need real good GPA cz I live in India and I wish to study abroad to get this degree.. so its an extra challenge.. Now, many are telling me that nurses hardly find job these days anywhere and that working conditions are horrible, especially if u r a foriegner, there is always a racial discrimination. This is my passion, I have left everything I had, even my bf broke up with me cz of my passion towards nursing cz he never wanted to marry a nurse.. In India, nurses are treated as second-degree citizens, dumb women by most people... All these are creating a low confidence and fear in me.. I even am screaming at my old parents with not their fault.... Is it true that nurses are no more needed bcz the field is saturated?? I cant let my dreams go of being a CNM.. I guess I just need words from an RN or so and not a person that wud pull me down even more or consider my ethnicity and answer. Thanks for everyone that would answer in advance.

I am not an RN, but I know that until recently hospitals were having a hard time finding enough nurses. Since the economy became so bad, it became harder for nurses to find jobs. Right now it is difficult for anyone to find a job in almost any field. As the economy recovers, however, nurses will find it increasingly easier to get jobs. By the time you finish your education, the economy and the job market may be much better.

Studying medicine in a India after high school
Studying medicine in a India after high school?
I'm currently a senior in highschool who will be graduating this year. I wish to study medicine and I have recently been admitted to many universities/ colleges which offer pre-med as a major. I have also been admitted into a 7-year B.S/D.O program and although I received a scholarship for the undergraduate portion, the medical school tuition is unaffordable that I have been thinking of taking my degree in India. I have looked into the Manipal University which is offering a MBBS degree. I was planning on studying for the MBBS there and then doing my residency in the US. I would be gratefull if someone would help me in this matter withe their opinions. Is the MBBS an undergraduate degree or graduate? Is it worth studying abroad and then coming back to the US to do the residency or should I just stick to the B.S/D.O program?This is so nervewrecking especially since I have to decide within a month.. Sometimes I wonder wether it's all worth it and if I should just do nursing.. Thanks!

Undergraduate. Manipal is an excellent place for medicine. But from my personal experince I find americans find it easier in the eastern bloc countries. Fees are cheaper in the eastern bloc countries.
2 :
In India you can be admitted to medical college after completing 12 years of schooling.
