What's the differance between a degree and a diploma for a Registered Nurse??

finanncial and higher education beyond RN information please

I could be wrong about this one, but here's what I'm thinking:

A diploma/certification is bare bones just what you really need to know for your job. Classes only in the field of Nursing (or electrician, or mechanic, or painting, etc.).

A degree is intended to produce a more well-rounded individual, so aside from your major, you also need math, english, humanities, etc. Takes longer and involves more classes. Degreed individuals by statistic make more money, though it took more time to get there.

Financial aspect (in general): spend more time and money training, make more money when you're done.

diploma is what u recieve
degree is what u earn thru college

Diploma: What you receive and what you need to know specifically for your job.

Degree: Is what you earn thru college and helps you become a well-rounded employee.
