Why become an RN to do computer work?

No offense to anyone but I don't understand the point of going to nursing school attaining an RN or even BSN only to work in computers. It seems like a lot of work to to become a nurse then not use the license.

I just came across this question. I hope there is a better understanding of the answer to this question by now! Who else would we want to set up our admission assessment questions and anything we would have to document in a computer?!? I wouldn't want someone who was never a nurse to guess at this. It only makes sense that an experienced nurse have this kind of job. This is what nursing is all about: different types of nursing in different settings and specialties with support of experienced nurses. Unfortunately, it seems the ones who are best at supporting are the ones the higher-ups don't keep because for them it's all about money, not what's best for the patients and certainly not the ones actually doing the bedside nursing.

What was your gateway to designing? Education requirements? Experience?
