<p>So if I decide to be a professor in a nursing school what degrees would I need? Obviously a nursing degree, but what else??? How much do professors get paid and how much experience of actually hands on nursing would I need?</p>
<p>How about a medical school professor???</p>
<p>and what about dental professor?</p>
<p>It depends. The JHU School of Medicine has very few “professors” who do not also have a clinical practice. Why don’t you check the JHU School of Nursing and look at their faculty profiles?</p>
<p>Medical school and dental school professors are a mixture of PhDs and prof degreed folks (mds and dds/dmd), depending on if they teach in the clinical years (3&4) or the basic science years 1&2 (roughly).</p>
<p>Nursing faculty in the actual nursing courses, are a mix too, many Phds in nursing, some MSN, a few BSN</p>
<p>Couple of times thru Dale Carnegie. Be a great communicator and you will be a great teacher. What you know is less important than how you get the knowledge to others.</p>
<p>Nursing is a high-demand, low-supply profession, and the supply gets lower the higher up you go. If you get a doctorate in Nursing, you’ll have lots of options with very high compensation packages.</p>
