Putting "Registered Nurses" at the top of the list of occupations that are available without a bachelor's degree seems kind of misleading.
Yes, it is technically possible to become one without a bachelor's degree, but it does require a minimum of three-quarters of a bachelor's degree and it is becoming more and more common for new RNs to be required to go ahead and get a bachelor's.

But a degree may be a practical requirement if you're competing with people who all have degrees. One reason for a nurse to stay in school for another year is to open up future jobs or education opportunities, e.g., grad school.
