[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years ago nurses were white, today blue collar. Smart women become doctor's and lawyers.[/quote] Nurses are white collar. 20 years ago, nurses could nurse with a diploma from a hospital program. Today, entry level requires at least an associates' degree. There are almost no diploma programs left. Most hospitals are moving to requiring a BSN for hiring or within 2 years of hiring. The field has moved from an emphasis on deferring to doctors to nursing assessment and independent practice. The knowledge required is extensive, and in the US, many nurses function on the level of junior doctors elsewhere. [/quote]
