This survey asked 65 nurses about their reasons for pursuing a baccalaureate degree in nursing. It identified six main themes in their responses: desire to help others, lifelong dream of being a nurse, ability to advance their career, availability of jobs, earning potential, and loss of a previous job. However, the summary does not provide details about the level of measurement used in the study or how frequently each theme was reported. This information is important for determining what descriptive statistics are most appropriate.
