Well as far as I know, it IS mandatory for RNs to have a bachelor's. It's been the standard in many countries for some time now...and the goal is to have global continuity with graduation/practice requirements/standards of care/etc.

you don't have to have a bach, here. not for RN.

You can and you make more money.

Makes sense now. edit: I still don't get the labeling system of your "degrees" though. It almost seems comparable to vanity sizing in clothes, lol. Up here it's understood that a degree = bachelor's or higher, which means you went to university. You don't get a degree in community college, you get a diploma or a certificate.

yea an associate's degree is kind of a joke, no offense to anyone, but i just mean that it's very easy to obtain. the classes and students are like high school really.

and i'm talking about the associate degrees like "business" lol and only if one goes for that and nothing further...that's what is a joke to me. the 2 year nursing degree programs are different. they set you up for working in that environment and there's tons of more education to go through that is funded by hospitals if you chose to work at one in return for having tuition paid for.


basically 2 year degrees are for people who didn't go to university right from high school and they cant' exactly go applying to those universities....it's easier and cheaper to get a 2 year transferrable degree.

Yep!

Originally posted by Slylee and btw rose, the other lies i'm talking about from jay will not be discussed in here because they involve the privacy of other TAs' personal lives/relationships whom i respect.

No worries.

Originally posted by jennypie See what the fuck is AA? Is that associates? I don't understand the point of that shit. How can someone be half of anything? I'm surprised they even allow that for nursing, to be honest. And no, I don't think you're crazy for wanting your master's. If you find you have a passion for nursing and want to get involved in the research aspect of it (plus make more money and have more opportunities), damnwell go for it. I almost think it's dumb not to. Nursing is changing so much that I think RNs with their masters will become the norm. Up here anyways...the scope of practice is changing so much for RNs and RPNs.

I've always been interested in nursing. I know soooo many people that want to be RN's just because of the money. It's kind of sad, really. They are going to be doing something they aren't even interested in for the rest of their lives just because they will get paid well.

quote:

Originally posted by Slylee no why would you be crazy? rose go to UM. my girlfriend is an ER nurse for 10+ years at memorial regional in hollywood and she's going for her masters now and she's 40. yea jenny an AA is a 2 year degree offerred at "community college".

UM is expensive as FUCK. FIU is 10 minutes from me and cheaper than UM. But I don't even know if I want to stay here yet. Barry is a really good University but too far from. I think it's near your house lol.

That's actually good though...because obviously it provides people with opportunity. I just don't understand why the States of all countries is lagging behind, especially since many of the leaders of the profession are Americans. I'm sure it all comes down to money somehow, once again, lol.
