The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

 
You can basically become an RN free. You can advance as an RN to be a director, the lead clinical person, sr leadership making 200k with no debt.

Call my “profession or degree” whatever I’m making bank…..

I can’t disagree here. Nursing is not a professional degree. Whatever. This administration makes me shake my head sometimes, and it seems to happen more and more as time passes.

Right. CRNAs make upwards of $300,000/year.

Eliminating physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists as non-professionals is short sighted and hopefully will be corrected.

Yep, they actually communicate with the patient. It's the "have another pill" folks that need re-training.

Actually, it's this whole tuition thing that pisses me off to no end.
Granted, I'm a dinosaur earning my pharmacy doctorate at Pitt in 1976, which was an advanced degree back then.
At the time tuition was $500 a semester, which adjusted for inflation would be $2,848 in 2025. Or $1,000 for the year ($5,696 in today's dollars).
Currently, a year's tuition for the pharmacy program at Pitt is $37,428 per year, or 650% higher than what inflation would dictate.
And that 37K is just tuition, the school estimates that all together the average student would be in the hole for 300K at the end of 4 years.

My question is why?

My daughter is a surgical RN and working on a degree to become a NP, the fees to do this are criminal.

Seems fairly clear that the system has evolved to the point where helping people help other people with something like, you know, basic healthcare, is not encouraged.

Maybe she should get a side hustle; you could compound some "botanicals" in your garage that she could distribute to to those in need. lol

Because they don't get enough federal money. Of course.

All I know is that someone needs a slap to the side of the head. Is it the schools, the banks, the DOE?
This all exploded when the Feds took control to guarantee student loans, maybe if enough students stop pursuing these careers or college degrees in general, tuition rates will fall back to earth.

Right. Very few careers require degrees. Very few students need degrees. It really needs to stop.

That is outrageous.

Now that the student athlete is getting paid I am sure that doesn’t help at all.

They convinced three generations of people that they’d never be anything or have anything without a degree. Now kids are finding out that they’re not going to be or have anything with a degree except poor and a lot of debt. And yet they still line up like rats at a feeder bar for their useless education never realizing the government did nothing more than create a boondoggle to enrich themselves and their friends in academia and keep the youth poor and angry at “the system.” You know, the system they created.
