I think the initial thread summed it up but again I am a professional salesmen looking to get an advantage in the very competitive field of medical device sales. As I was saying in the initial thread I questioned becoming an rn, I never said that was an accreditation and I already realize the process which would take prob min 2 years if done as most do and is alot of work, thats why I joined this site to try and gain insight and find out what other options are out there and see their requirments and procedures and costs So besides becoming an rn what else is a out there? Something that is already known to be legit, not some lame internet degree that no one heard of, something that the peers of your industry see value in possessing for example though this not apply to my situation but for the sake of explaining say someone wanted to add finance to their resume, they may seek out a "Certificate of Finance" most colleges offer them and they last 6 months, this seems more logical than instead goin all out and getting a economics degree that takes 4 years and is over the top for the goal and not needed to attain the goal at hand. Anyone that finds this hostile in anyway is certainly far off and need not to reply then, no fishyness, or trolling Just was looking to try to engage in a real conversation about what else is out there with people with a knowledge of healthcare field and people that could offer real insight so I joined this site and based on the replies I am getting few tried to be helpfull thus far
