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

doctors are 8 years of schooling plus residency , then internship into a specialized field which can be another 2-4 years, and that’s even if you are lucky to get into medical school at all...
You can actually become a registered nurse in 2-3 years and work/gain experience as you get your masters...

@Deadcutie Do you need a Doctors degree for your field?

@iMystery if I was to become a medical examiner yes, they are doctors of pathology or forensics..

Now if I go into a coroner system, no medical training is required at all, its a elected position, a car salesmen can get the job.. and ironically has the same duties as a medical examiner...

I’m personally going into forensic investigation, I’ll be a csi or autopsy technician at the morgue
The csi is a 4 year degree with optional masters in Field study.
An autopsy technician just needs 1-2 years in health or funeral related care, such as a nurse or orderly ..

Another option which will most likely be my Avenue is to become a apprentice with my husband at the funeral home.

@Deadcutie Yeah... I was actually doing some research just the other day about the Coroner vs ME system.

Very interesting...

@iMystery yeah, kind of messed up he can be selling you cars one day and dissecting your body the next day.. and he’s responsible for figuring out how you died.. and whether or not it was murder or not..
