[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a highly ranked 4 year college and got my BSN. I had to take Organic Chemistry, Microbiology, Pathophysiology, A&P, Pharmocology along with Humanities, and nursing classes like OB/Gyn, Med-Surg and clinicals. It was a very demanding 4 years.  I think nurses do not get the respect they deserve.[/quote]

I agree with you, but I understand why.  Most nurses don’t go to highly rank d 4 yr colleges.  In my experience, most of the nurses like you work the floor for a short time then move on to highly level practitioner degrees such as NP, CRNA, CNS, DNP...

Many of the “regular” nurses have associate degrees.  There also seems to be a very large draw to nursing for single moms and/or divorced women and those needing to find a new work where they can go to school for a relatively short time for (2 yr associate) and have a guaranteed job making decent money immediately following graduation.  Nurses isn’t their calling, it is just the easiest way to make a wage high enough to support a family with relatively minimal yrs commented to school and low risk of not finding a job. [/quote]
