If you plan on studying graduate medicine in Ireland a degree in Nursing is fine. Just so you know, there are certain universities in the UK that do not take on graduates from Nursing.
To apply for graduate entry you will need to sit the GAMSAT, so graduate entry wouldn't be considered a 'back door' per say - It's just as competitive.
