>> You know, you need to really look at the whole complexity of the healthcare system.
You know, I was one of those people who thought
that once I got one degree, that would be enough.
But it very soon became obvious to me that pursuing other ways to look at things
and problem solving and working with other disciplines,
getting an advanced degree might be helpful.
Probably the one disappointment is that I never went on for a Ph.D. I thought about that.
I looked into that.
Kind of did a cost benefit analysis at that point in my life and said, you know,
this doesn't make sense to spend this kind of money
and get a Ph.D. That's the one thing I would have done differently.
I would have gone all the way through.
I'd probably done it earlier but, you know, hindsight is 20/20 as they always say.
>> Right.
>> But I think an advanced degree in nursing
or in any field really just gives you a different perspective not just
on your profession but other people too and how they all fit together.
