I just heard that Plies graduated with a degree in nursing. The question is can he still be gangsta?

I recently heard on the radio that the rapper Plies graduated from a four-year college in Miami with a degree in nursing. The DJs were laughing and suggested that this achievement makes him seem less "gangsta." They also mentioned that Lil Wayne graduated with a degree in English. Why do people tend to view rappers differently or discredit them when they pursue higher education? I'm curious about why attaining a degree seems to change the perception of an artist's authenticity. Just sharing what I heard!

Having the RN after your name is just a matter of passing the NCLEX Nursing boards test. Anybody with an associate's degree or a bachelor's can take the boards. A lot of people get their associates and then work somewhere that will reimburse them to get their bachelors. That is a good strategy. However, some associate's degrees are 3 years anyway, so some think its just as well to go ahead and get the 4 year degree out of the way right away. The trend in hospitals today is to hire more nurses with bachelors and usually you have to have it to get a management position. Another idea: If you work as a nurse's aide during school, , they will often reimburse your degree as well. Also being an aide in a hospital is a good way of seeing what the environment is like. Being a nurse and nursing school is a long, hard road, and often disillusioning so be prepared to know this is really what you want. It must be a calling if it is worth it. Many blessings on your journey.

As has been stated by some of the previous responders, there are many, and in fact the predominance of RN programs, currently, in the US are associate degree programs. Just be sure when you enroll in the program that it is an associate degree which prepares you for the NCLEX-RN, as there are now some associate degree programs which prepare students for the NCLEX-LPN/LVN. Associate degree nurses in the US have similar success on the NCLEX-RN and show similar competence in the entry level nursing positions. And many of the finest RNs are ADNs. BSNs (despite a few regional differences) make an average of $2,000 to $3000 per year more with a BSN differential paid by the hospital, in the first years. However, the actual salary differences become more evident, as most major hospitals and hospital systems now prefer or require a BSN for an RN to advance into a management or supervisory role, thus in the long run the BSN nurses make a higher income over the course of their careers. Also there are many positions in nursing which are posted as BSN required or preferred, and the ability to obtain your desired position is improved with the higher degree. (however, in the long run, experience usually works for an ADN in the application process). When applying for a graduate school program, all MSN programs require a BSN as a prerequisite degree. However, there are some bridge programs, which are available as ADN to MSN. In these programs, you finish the BSN at the school, prior to starting the MSN program. The average ADN program, though originally intended to be a 2 year program, now takes 3 to 3.5 years, due to the need to complete the sciences courses as prerequisites, these were once taken as co-requisites. A BSN program takes 4 years, so to complete an ADN and then take the BSN usually takes about half a year longer, than going directly through the BSN. Also, when there are a high number of applications for the MSN program from nurses with BSNs, there is less of a need for the schools to fill with ADN bridge applicants, so they have the students do the ADN to BSN then apply to the MSN in some cases. (This is most true with anesthesia programs which rarely, if ever, have ADN bridge programs). The salary average in the US for an RN with an ADN degree in 2007 was close to $59,000. However, this varies widely by your location. You can expect to make much more in the northeast or major west coast cities, however, the cost of living, usually offsets any increase over the national average.

Lil Wayne graduated for houston with a degree in psychology during his rap career. Plies is a very intelligent and did graduate with a nursing degree. He never claims to be a gangster. Listen to his music and it's clear on how he grew up. He has been through a lot of mess in his life and every word he says is true. He has much respect from other artists.

YAYA i know you hate plies but there is no chance his rap career will fail, he is way too talented and popular.

Ummm this pretty much was already discussed but I'll humor you anyway

Plies said that if he didnt become a rapper he wanted to be a politician

And as far as being educated and "gangsta" I dont think education prevents people from wanting to be gangsta

The paper doesnt prevent you from doing what YOU wanna do

It doesn't matter. Is he a nurse now? No. He's still a good rapper in my opinion.
