I know it seems like a girl job, but i really think that nursing is

a solid job. It is possible to get the same pay as an engineer.

Nurses are always in demand, anywhere so it is nearly

impossible to get laid off. i can work anywhere in the world (if i

know their countries language) or anywhere in the united

states.


I was just wondering, are their similar careers such as this? that would take 2-4 years to get my license in?

It's lucrative but very demanding and you can't make too many mistakes.Good Choice

You'll get bitched around by the doctors constantly, but nurses make good pay these days especially ICU nurses.

Yeah, become a cardiac nurse and you'll have run of the mill because they'll never be able to find a replacement.

it is a good job if you enjoy helping people, and you will be able to work anywhere you like, especially in your own country. my friend is a nurse and works three 12 hour days a week, and has the rest of the week off, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

but you might want to do some more research about the pay. pay is the number 1 complaint among nurses
i don't know where you are but in the u.s. it is a problem

They get paid fairly well, they just get fairly little in relation to what doctors get, which is their main beef.

Unfortunately a lot of nurses don't seem to be able to grasp that it is their job to do what the doctor says because they aren't doctors.

Yeah nursing is a good job. Beware of doctors however, most look down on nurses, particularly guy ones.

But its an in demand job. Good choice if you stick with it.

The pay is good. But nurses complain that they dont get paid enough for all they do. One day they could be helping a doctor treat a patent, the next day they can spend their whole day changing some old dudes diapers.

My friend is a psychiatric nurse (shes a girl btw) She gets paid good money, but honestly not enough for getting shit thrown at her face, dealing with people who constantly hear voices telling them to burn the hospital down, and extremely bipolar pmsing bitches who more than once tried to attack her.

The perils of working in a mental institution.

Uh , have you looked into becoming a police officer?

Pretty good job security there.

You can do a lot worse than going into nursing. Plus a lot of people will respect you AND you are likely to get job satisfaction.

Go for it. Nurses are always in high demand, and in a lot of poorly staffed places they get serious salaries.
