no, Medicine is one area which is very strict about it rules. you will have to go through the normal process- though they will give you credit for some classes as you have experince. this will enable to to finish your bachlors earlier than others.
2 :
No, not in the US or here in the UK. In fact not anywhere, and be aware that a nurse is not a doctor, I would look into what medicine entails before choosing it as a life long career. Secondly just because you have lots of experience doesn't make up anything you would learn during a bachelors degree. There are plenty of things I learnt during my bachelors (BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science) which have come in great hand especially during research which I would have not learnt doing other jobs for years. Finally why do you want to swap from veterinary college to medicine...I seriously think you need to think about your future before making decisions.

You do not have to have a bachelors degree at all college, but most will require it. Regulations state that 3 years of courses on the proper track are required, however, if you have just taken "some" courses in chem, physics, and biology, you probably haven't met the requirements for any school.

You do not need a Bachelor's degree in the UK to study medicine. Most medical students have come straight out of school and start the course aged 18. So I think with your history you would not be automatically excluded.

Contact the university you are interested in. Maybe you would only have to take a year or two more of study. Good luck
