Is it wrong...

I hear alot of people wanting to get into Nursing not because they want to "help" people, but because they want a decent salary, job flexibility and opportunities for advancement, most wanting to become Nurses because they want to continue onto grad school to become CRNAs.

I admit. I am somewhat of guilty of this. One thing that did attract me to Nursing IS that it isn't a typical 9-5 job desk job with only 2 week vacations and that there are many fields of Nursing to get into. And I did look into CRNA, but decided that knocking people out isn't that fun or exciting.

So, nurses: do you think it is wrong to get into Nursing for the reasons discussed above? And if not, are you guilty of this as well?

    Nursing is a PROFESSION; Accounting is a career.

    Uh...what? Nursing is a career and profession as well. The terms aren't mutually exclusive.

    Anywho, tbh, I'm not only looking Nursing for its "benefits". I truly think, if I were to work in Labor and Delivery, Neonatalogy, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, or even Geriatrics, I would enjoy Nursing. I've volunteer a Maternity Wards and a Nursing home, and I didn't mind the environment. I LOVED the Labor and Delivery ward, even though I know almost EVERY nurse wants to work with the babies.
