Nursing is a little bit of a special case - in addition to an LPN going back to get a degree and qualify as an RN, it’s still possible in at least some states to be licensed as an RN without any degree, just a diploma from a non- degree granting nursing school. My cousin was an RN with one of those diplomas and got a bachelor’s a few years ago , not to get a raise at her current job but so she could change jobs. All the other facilities required a bachelor’s degree for new hires.
I figured that my knowledge (actually my sister’s) was out of date.
