    Did you know that the popular way to become a doctor is to first get into university as a nurse, then transfer to the doctor’s course after the first year? It’s well told and commonly accepted and done.

    Except for the fact that those nurses find out that not a single credit gotten in the nurse course can be applied to the doctor’s course. Even worse, if you’ve started the nurse’s course, you’re barred from the doctor’s course, even if you try to switch universities. This has been true for more than a decade (I know, because I knew someone who suffered this). At least Ontario is so starved for nurses that they teach you in high school to go to nurse school as a shortcut to get into a doctor’s course if you don’t get accepted the first try. A lie that is perpetuated because becoming a nurse is so unpopular.
