I'm a student, so technically I lose money

Don't go into nursing because you heard you can make good money! (not accusing, just saying)

Specializes in Psych, Med/Surg, LTC.

I live in NE PA.

The local hospital pays $17/hr.

The place I work I get $23.10/hr. I am pre-diem, so no benefits or PTO. I have an 80 mile commute.

I like the flexibility of nursing, but I do not like the horizontal violence.

Nursing is stressful, but also rewarding. You can survive on the pay, but you will not have a family and a lot of extras in life unless you want to work a lot of overtime.
