Unfortunately, healthcare is not a career many of us envisioned. We are over worked and honestly, a majority of the time it is unfulfilling. 😕

Yeah I don't think most of us expected patients to act like we are trying to kill them and that they know better than ANYONE what they need. It is completely exhausting.

Nursing currently has the highest pay to education ratio, while it may be temporary with a bachelors or even associates in nursing you can find positions at $70-$90 an hour and with travel positions $100-$150 per hour.

I did RN, BSN then went to medical school before the current market went up like this had I waited. Plus demand for nursing only will rise.

Interesting. What's the primary reason for hesitating?

Sounds like she's asking if it's worth it.

I wish I had been a doctor…
