2. Highest paid nursing field?

   joeld311 replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

   Ugh, give me a break. None of us would have jobs at all if we didn't need to get paid! Get over all that "love what you do" BS. It's about the money. Anyone that tells you it isn't is full of ****. Nursing is a ****** job. Bottom line. Pay, benefits ...

   What?! No Dallas Cowboys scrubs!?!?!? *** people! ***. I think we need to go on strike, lol. Just kidding. I thought I'd squeeze that one in there due to the post on the poor nurses (sarcasm) in Kentucky who are striking. Dallas is 10-1! Whoohoo! Gim...

8. Bored To Death!

   joeld311 replied to Pianoforte's topic in New Nurse

   I just want to make a living. The sooner you realize that we work so we can live (not live so we can work) the better off you'll be. I've never liked any job or career that I've had. It's just a way to pay the bills. The idea that you should love you...
