Highest paying LVN job??

Same with Orlando, and we're planning to move, too (whenever we can sell our house, that is!)

Ok. I know it is a year after that post but, it IS ok to be a nurse for the money. Just like being a Doctor, mechanic, policeman, and any other job. The idea that you have to starve to be a caregiver is as old as the hills. Why spend thousands getting an education, many thousands of hours getting experience and not be able to have a good life and take care of those annoying details like supporting your loved ones? I do like helping people but that is not why I got into nursing. My number one motivation was how much we get paid where I live and, no, contrary to what people always say to us money lovers, I dont hate my job. I love it. Guess what. In spite of getting into it for the money, I bet I am as good a nurse as you are. Turns out, after talking to many of my coworkers, that they would walk out the door in a heartbeat if the money wasn't right. And we all love where we work but you have gotta make a living and it doesnt make sense to make your loved ones suffer just so you can follow your "calling". (Working for nothing)
