I believe he was referring to the 39% of RNs who hold BSNs compared to the percentage of medics who hold a bachelor degree which while not 0% is much much lower. I would be surprised if 39% of medics nationwide held a degree of any kind.
I was referring specifically to the number of medics who hold a bachelors in paramedicine or equivalent at entry into practice versus the number of RNs who hold a bachelors in nursing at entry into practice. That is essentially 0% to 39%.
I am not speaking about the highest degree achieved outside of the profession. We all know there are plenty of medics and nurses with degrees outside their field.
We could step it down to associates or higher in the field at entry to practice, then you have 96% for nurses vs what for paramedics nationwide?
