Can a bachelors degree in other areas affect pay? - Page 2

The only thing my previous degree has done for me is make me get selected ahead of others for nusing school. I start my first position in January and my previous degree didn't even come up in the interview. I was offered the traditional salary at that institution for a new graduate nurse.

Well, my previous project management experience has allowed me to move up the clinical ladder by chairing/managing the hospital's nursing information management committee. Not much to do with my prior degree but more about knowing how to actually manage a project with over 100 items in the hopper. Got a raise, takes about 2 hours a month, works for me.
