Comments on: 40,000 Applicants Turned Away from Nursing Schools http://scrubsmag.com/40000-applicants-turned-away-from-nursing-schools/ Wed, 23 May 2012 23:12:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Steve http://scrubsmag.com/40000-applicants-turned-away-from-nursing-schools/#comment-1072 Steve Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:40:55 +0000 http://scrubsmag.com/?p=7580#comment-1072 I think part of the problem in lack of nursing educators is due to a couple of reasons. Given all of the head games and crap that go into getting through nursing school for a lot of nurses, who wants to sign on for more of that at a higher level? I also think there has to be a financial payoff for getting a masters in nursing or a Ph.D in nursing. For all of the money that goes into a Ph.D, will there be enough of a financial gain to make it worth your while? I know people don't go into nursing to get rich, but to get an advanced degree should not be a financial black hole, either.
