Nurses Can Be Astronauts Too

[Carlis]

I am disturbed that NASA does not consider a degree in nursing as acceptable to become an astronaut. They have doctors, school teachers and psychologists...but no nurses. I have an interest in becoming an astronaut and I am sure other nurses would like the opportunity. I think we should start a petition to get an explanation and reconsideration. Your thoughts?

I have a masters degree in Clinical Psychology which they stated they will accept as opposed to a traditional psychology degree. However, I haven't practiced in this field and I am not sure I want to. I am just surprised that they don't recognize nurses. Read NASA website for FULL details: Astronaut Selection
