I have a serious question

Nurses General Nursing

Why didn't you guys get your doctors degree?

I mean I see a lot of people on here complaining about the work load and stress and politics and what not. Oh yeah and the salary. I just don't really see why not, ya know? I mean a BSN program is 4 years. Medical is five. Like, lets look at the difference here.

4 year BSN grad ... making maybe what? 40-50-60-70 grand a year?

5 years down the road... they're probably still working as an RN, maybe they went into a specialty... topping of at 100k a year.

Now, a doctor after 5 years of medical school does residency, 50-60 a year... but then a couple years down the road they're making 200-300$ a year, and they're the DOCTOR. Thats some politics right there.

I don't know, maybe I'm talking out of my awss but, I'm just wondering what your personal reason is for not continuing your education. That sounds dick-ish... sorry :p

I suggest we close this thread.

It is a different career path. Nurses can be sued too.

I chose to be a nurse not a dr. Simple!
