What pays more:Registered nurse or Masters in Public Health w/concentration in Environmental health?

We Answered:

They both seem like good health-care degrees. Obviously the Master's degree will be more costly and require more time to complete. I would start with the RN/BSN nursing degree. After you earn this degree you will have a very marketable career where you can basically live anywhere and be in demand for a well paying job. After you reach this milestone you can always go back for your master's if you want it or feel you really need it. Good luck!

Physical therapy vs. nursing career?

We Answered:

I would choose Nursing if you can. It is a long road and difficult...but worth it. They make a lot more money for your family. Good Luck.

Nursing Licensure Compact is the approach many states are using to integrate nursing throughout the US.Opinion?

We Answered:

Transfer of RN licensure from state to state isn't a difficult process, even without the presence of a compact. It's just a matter of filling out a few forms, providing evidence of either your education (recent graduates) or evidence of recent employment and that you are current on CEU credits, paying the fees, and allowing a bit of time to process (anywhere from a few days to a few weeks).

The compact agreements streamlines the process of becoming licensed in another state, but only by a little bit. There is still paperwork, there are still fees to be paid, and there is still time to wait for processing.

Donna Said:

Any lawyers out there or anyone who is knowledge about careers in law? I was wondering what kind of..?

We Answered:

Honestly, you can probably earn more in the health field and find work easier. With that said, there is a position called a nurse paralegal. You have to be an RN for a few years and get a paralegal degree/certificate (there are many ways you can mix your experience and education). From what I hear, they make a really good salary and get the best of both worlds. You would help medical malpractice attorneys with their cases and because you have experience as a registered nurse, you become invaluable when going over medical cases.

Other than that, you could specialize in medical malpractice if you decide to get admitted to the bar.

I am sure your possibilities are endless.
