I am not a CPM but I am a doula / educator / massage therapist and I am going back for my bachelor's degree in nursing. My background is originally education and I have a bachelor's and master's degree in elementary ed. I got those degrees and while working on my masters found doula work and fell in love. I never went back to teaching after that. Right now the economy sucks and I just had my 9th baby and dh and I got to talking and he said that if I ever thought about going back for nursing now is the time. I found out that I will only have to do three years because I am going to the same school that I got my first bachelor's in so all of those classes are being waived.
When I discuss with my dh about an associates program versus the bachelors program he said it is worth it to go the extra time so that I can be on the top of the pay scale and not be the bottom nurse with the associates degree. I talked with a cousin who has her associates and she agrees and regrets not taking that extra step. For me the difference between an associates degree and a bachelors is one year.
