Is it just correlational data?
I assume in almost all professions more education correlates with better employees but I imagine most of that value is selection bias as opposed to causative.

Especially without a corresponding analysis of costs (maybe that’s here?) https://ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/research-updates/hospital-nurses-and-patient-outcomes-a-matter-of-degree/ https://ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/research-updates/hospital-nur...

But all the ones I found linked the % of nurses with BSNs to outcomes which has two sources of possible confounds, the nurse level and the hospital level. Maybe you've seen better studies than I could find that convinced you of this but all the studies I could find looked like bad science.

But I'm under no impression that if we extended mandatory schooling to the age of 22 the average lifespan in the US would shoot up 3 years.
