00:01 Alright, so first i'm looking at a physician or a doc.

00:06 Well, we have firstly definitely a bachelor's degree, which would be a four -year undergraduate degree such as likely in a science -related field such as biology, chemistry, or physics.

00:25 But then there would be medical school, which is again typically a four -year professional program leading to either a doctor of medicine, md, or a doctor of maybe osteopathic medicine or a do degree.

00:44 And then after that would be residency.

00:50 So after med school, physicians undergo residency programs, can last from three to seven years, and then there is board certification.

01:03 So after completing residency, many physicians pursue, let's say, board certification in their specialty, which may require an exam.

01:12 So then for a nurse or an rn, you would have typically a associate's degree in nursing, which is an adn, which is a two -year program that prepares you to become an rn, and then your bachelor's of science in nursing, which would be a four -year program that offers a more comprehensive education.

01:33 And then you get licensure, which you typically would pass.

01:38 Most nurses must pass the national council license examination.

01:44 This is the nclex for an rn, so the n -c -l -e -x.

01:50 So there's the nclex to become licensed.

01:54 And then there's advanced practice, so some nurses pursue further education to become either nurse practitioners, an np, or maybe a clinical nurse specialist.

02:06 And then this often is going to require a master's degree or potentially a doctorate...
