[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurse here.

Nurses come from all walks of life at every education level.  The profession can't be easily generalized.

Some nurses were stellar students with good family backgrounds, went to a great traditional 4 yr universities and majored in nursing, went on to higher education.  They marry well usually to doctors, lawyers, etc.

In my experience, for a decade or more, nursing has been a very attractive career option for women (and men) with a lot of baggage: divorced, single parents, changed careers, children or spouse of an abusive/alcoholic person.  It is a secure employment option with decent pay that can be obtained with an associates degree.  This makes it a viable option to MANY types of people.  I assure you many of them are not smart, caring "called to the profession" because of their nurturing nature.  There are plenty of dig-bat nurses that are just there to make a buck.  [/quote]

Agreed. There isn’t one path to nursing or in nursing. You can be “a nurse” with a one year LPN certificate or a 2 year ADN degree or a 4 year BSN from Northern State Whatever University or a BSN from Yale or a second degree accelerated BSN or a direct entry MSN. Beyond that the graduate degrees range from MBA to risk management to informatics to educator to nurse practitioner.  Those are very different kinds of nurses with different class/education backgrounds and different salaries.
