There is one upside to earning multiple degrees over just focusing on one area that I neglected to mention. Among jobs where just any ole degree will not do, having certain additional degrees can increase your employ-ability, meaning if you can not, or do not want to get a job in one degree-based field, then you have the option of doing so in another. Granted they may be entry level positions within their respective field, any degree-based job is going to be better than working at McDonald's I think. So whether or not having this kind flexibility is more important than acquiring years of experience, and rising to the top of any given profession is a question only you can answer.
Should you focus on a career in the medical field, and particularly so within nursing, I don't think getting a job would be an issue for you as there are probably more nursing jobs out there than there are of any other type. So in that case, the question just becomes whether or not it's what you really want to do as having multiple degrees simply for the sake of having a job would seem unnecessary in that case.
