why???

Published

is it a fact that medical doctors are highly venerated than registered nurses so nursing is inferior to medicine? ... and why is that??? we are all a part of health professions ????:uhoh3::confused:

Specializes in LTC, Rehab, Gerontology.
BSN's have 6 years of education?? Where did you get that from? My BSN program was four years including prerequisites and that's standard for most universities. Most ADN programs are 2 years or 2.5 years.

With prerequisites, my ADN took me 3.5 yrs and many of my "older" classmates it took longer than 4 yrs total.

Specializes in Certified Med/Surg tele, and other stuff.
Smily - - this has been discussed before. Check the archives. Also, why ask this type of question on a forum designed to help each other not bash each other?

Many surveys show that nurses are highly respected.

Which contractors are more important - electricians or plumbers?

Plumbers= showers and toilets. That's my vote.:lol2:

Specializes in ICU.

Nurses are the #1 most trusted profession in the national Gallop poll. That should say a lot. I have had many patients tell me it was the nurses that really did the work and explained everything, not the doctors.

But they are 2 different professions, and it's really not a competition.

I'd give you more "kudos" if I could.

Specializes in LTC, Med-Surge, Ortho.

No one should ever compare doctors and nurses because we have two different scopes of practice. However, no matter who went to school the longest, makes more money or have the higher degree, both professions have licenses that could be taken away if found negligent in patient care. Doctors need nurses and nurses need doctors and patients need us both. It is all about respect towards each other no matter what initials are behind a name. I am soooo sick of the politics in healthcare period. :uhoh3:

Specializes in PICU, Sedation/Radiology, PACU.

Is that going to school at least full time? My BSN program required we carry about 15 credits per semester to complete the required courses. Of course, going to school only part time would take longer, but it doesn't mean that there is any more education involved.
