Costs more for the average American. Why would someone waste their money there?

^Yes.

School doesn't matter in professions with normally distributed salaries (nursing, civil engineering).

In professions with log normal distribution of salaries (law, business, econ), school is almost the only thing that does matter.

True for other normally distributed professions. But As a Civil Engineer, I can tell you that there would have been zero chance that I would have been able to run one of the largest Construction companies in the country without the “prestige” associated with the university I went to. It was not the deciding factor but it was a huge factor. I don think this is happening with Nurse jobs.

Engineers think they know everything, especially subjects they self admittedly know nothing about, as here.

Not the PP, but what did he say that was wrong? I dont see any Nurses running any Fortune 1000 companies do you?

Three hospitals in Philly are run by Penn nursing grads including the Penn Hospital, Children’s Hospital and the Philly Veteran’s hospital.

Also, UCLA and Hopkins Medical Center CEOs have nursing degrees.

Gay. Haven't you seen Meet the Parents?

Nobody in healthcare calls it that - being 'subservient' to a doctor. Healthcare is very much a team sport. Young doctors learn quickly to trust the nurses. Nurses are at the bedside 24/7, picking up on subtleties and nuances in their patients that the doctor relies on. The poster above can go back to the 1950s.

I've been a nurse for over 25 years - I have worked alongside Hopkins nurses, Penn nurses, Georgetown nurses but also UMd, JMU, GMU, VCU, UDel... We all make the same starting out. There is no 'bump' in pay because you went to Penn or some other name school. Reputation of the nursing school matters a lot but so does experience - did the student work as a tech, an EMT or have an externship?

It DOES matter, for the very top options in the nursing field. These may be less than 5% of all nursing jobs but it matters for that group of jobs.

No it doesn’t.

What do you mean these hospitals are "run' by Penn nursing grads? What positions are you talking about?
I'm not finding these people.

And Hopkins Medicine is run by Redonda Miller who is an MD.

I just googled and found an article.

Regina Cunningham is CEO of Penn Hospital…Madeline Bell is CEO of CHoP…Karen Flaherty is CEO of Philly VA hospital.

From University City to Memorial Healthcare System in Florida, where three out of six hospitals are now run by nurse CEOs, to Johns Hopkins, where a former oncology nurse serves as president of the health system, to hospitals and health systems of all sizes throughout the country, nurses like Cunningham, Bell, and Flaherty-Oxler are increasingly landing at the top of the org chart.
