Hey! I've commented on your tiktoks and recently found your channel. I just met with a premed advisor to get the ball rolling. Your videos are so helpful!
thanks for the support!! im super excited for you!!
I am going the rn to md route! Feeling really overwhelmed with the courses I have to take. Feels like it will take forever but the time will pass anyway so I’m sticking with it. Your videos are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing!! ❤
I appreciate your kind words! Best of luck to you
I love your channel. I’m presently a nurse, taking the rest of my premed classes
thank you! I am so glad youre here and I hope its helpful!
I’m an LPN getting my RN, I took some pre med courses already, calc and physics are so hard for me but I’m going to pass
Good luck to you!!! And great job for getting started
Currently an icu RN doing my pre-reqs! May I ask if you applied for the scholarship or it was just offered?
It was offered because I had a STRONG application leveraging my RN background. I outline how to create a strong application in my RN to MD guide: nursemdlily.org/shop/rntomdguide
I love your vids but I am not experiencing the same success as you in that I have applied 5 times, while working full time as a diabetes educator x 20 years, raising a very busy family, LOR from the 3 medical directors at the 3 hospitals I’ve worked at in 3 different states but a lousy 495 as my highest mcat. While I am so terribly discouraged, broke, I’m going to try my final mcat attempt, can you offer some words of wisdom please

1st to comment & react. Hopefully one day I'll come back to this video & when I do there'll be Dr infront of my name ❤️
YES! Rooting for you!
Hey Dr. Lily! I have a tough question. So, right now I am a pre-nursing undergrad student who has already applied to my school's nursing program. However, I've also been giving a lot of thought to med school. Since I am still missing those other premed prerequisites, do you think it would be wise for me to turn down the nursing program acceptance (if I get in) and then switch to a health sciences major? I do want some experience as an RN, but I also don't want to waste my time & money on a postbac if I know I want to go down the med route. Thank you!
Hi there! I usually tell people if you want to be a physician, then do premed and go that route. If you want to be a nurse, then get your RN and be a nurse then do prerequisites later. Sounds like you want to be a doc, and the quicker way will be to complete a bachelor's degree that encompasses all your premed prerequisites. Hope that helps!
Can you tell me whether attending MD or CRNA school is a better option for becoming an anesthesiologist?
Depends how risky you are. If you go for CRNA then you will make good money and practically will do mostly everything a anesthesiologist do but the problem is that if it big and complex case they will always a call anesthesiologist but if you go that route you have to accept that there a chance that you won’t match into residency and longer schooling but the potential to make more money, gain fellowships(larger scope of practice), and do more advance research.
I think this person sums it up pretty well! Anesthesiologist are who we call when patients crash, they do the difficult airways, high risk things. I am personally one of those people who truly want to be fully prepared for something like doing anesthesia so I would choose to get a medical degree and do residency BUT that doesn't mean a CRNA route wouldn't work for you. It's a very personal question and dependent on your own career goals. Both routes allow you to perform anesthesia.
This is the least authoritative of the three you listed but you could also become a CAA- two years master's degree and you go to work immediately after doing the same job a CRNA does as an anesthetist, but you are under the authority of an anesthesiologist doctor and will practice in a patient care-team.
