If you're going to get a Master's Degree in Nursing, why not just simply study to become a Doctor instead?

Honestly I study nursing and that's my thought too 😅 but in some countries (well actually in mine, don't know about the rest of the world), you cannot JUST study something, you have to take particular exams in order to enter university. When you already have a degree and want to study something else, these exams are very difficult (depending on the department as well). So you have a high chance of failing while you have already bought books and probably had some lessons. Additionally, medicine is 6 years, plus you have to be a rural general practitioner for one year. This exam will put you on the second year, but you still have 5 more to go and a year of practice. So compare all of this to just giving 2000€ for a master's degree which can be two years. Also, some people don't want to become doctors, they like working as nurses, they just want an extra degree in order to be more attractive to employers, or just want to evolve in their own field.
