The problem is the the time and cost it takes to go through that training. Premed requisites are all contained in the undergrad program. A nursing degree does not give them to you. 4 years of medical school. 1 year transitional internship. 3 - 5 years residency training, depending on your specialty. Even Family Practice is 3 more years. And guess what, you have to pay for it all and you are really married to the program, it would be nearly impossible for an active mother to do without a husband with a great job and a lot of time off to take care of the family.
