My wife is a hospice nurse. She wanted to be a nurse, not a doctor's assistant. She wanted to work directly with patients AND with their families. She provides treatment plans and recommendations to the docs, usually over the phone, and for the most part they rubberstamp them.
She has an AA degree. Admissions to her 2-year program are significantly more difficult than getting into any 4-year BSN program I know of, including Penn (under 10% admitted, solely on the basis of college pre-req courses). In fact, the rejects from her program often end up in the 4-year program at UW.
