An MA in nursing will provide better job security since you will qualify for all sorts of positions that don't go away as quickly as BS or AS degree equivalent positions do when the economy gets rough.
As another poster said, you don't go into teaching for the money.

A MA in nursing is pretty useless. The majority of US schools give MSNs and that is what employers are looking for. I have also found in my nursing career, the MSN jobs such as clinical specialists and some management positions are the first to go.
I am basing this on my nursing career unlike some posters here who have never worked as a nurse.
