  Thank you for this question.
  I am impressed that you have a desire for this line of study.
  To pursue a career in medicine and nursing needs very high levels of commitment to excellence. You need to score high grades in sciences (Biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics) as well as other subjects that affect the overall score.
  Inborn abilities to withstand pain and great empathy for those in pain are also key.
