being a nurse and doctor are two different careers, you don't go thru all the nursing steps to become a doctor. To be a doctor, you of course graduate from high school, then get your bachelors in something like chemistry or biology. Then you apply to medical school, which is another 4 years, then you graduate with your MD. You are a doctor at that point, but you then do a residency or internship in your specialty, like pediatrics or surgery, etc. There are always other medical careers, nurse, nurse practitioner, physicians assistants, etc.
