Yeah. That about covers it.

And it's less stressful than medical school!

Wow.

TazziRN, RN · Mar 28, 2008

Well........technically there are parts of the career that are low stress...........each nurse is bound to experience that part of the job at least once a week..............

None of those jobs listed are particularly low-stress IMHO. I know a few pastry chefs, and they work as hard as nurses, with much stress and wacky hours. The whole article is just a vehicle for advertising career training programs, and full of c*r*a*p*o*l*a if you ask me.

I believe that entire ad falls under "false advertising." :nono:

If they want to leave their "high stress" career and enter nursing, guess what, pal, you just jumped from the frying pan into the fire!!!!! And it gets danged hot in this fire!!!!!!:flamesonb

I bet they watched a few nursing assistants I have worked with!!!! You know, the ones who are always on break, you can never find them until suddenly they appear at the time clock at the end of their shift. The nurse does all the toileting and turns and brief changes and puts all the half nekked patients back in bed along with passing meds, changing IV tubing, emptying the garbage etc. Yup, yup if thats the type of nursing assistants they are training then yes the only stress is hiding well enough to not be asked to do anything. The other type is always on their cell phone...for the whole darn shift. How could you even notice you are changing a brief if you are chatting it up with your current hot date, gossiping with your best friend or planning a party with your sisters.

Now I know where they learn those skills!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely false advertising.

What if we all just refused to work until things got better?

Refuse to buy gas - do nothing. Refuse to move out when they take our houses.

Sounds to me like a big "advertorial." How much do you want to bet some of the schools teaching these things (probably mostly online degrees) paid -- directly or indirectly -- to be part of this "article"? My bet is 1. it's comprised of frequent advertisers on the yahoo site or 2. they paid to be in the um, "story."

This is an article written by someone an internet marketing company to get people to fill out forms to go to the colleges promoted when you click the links in the article. Every time someone fills out one of those forms, the company makes money. Would you fill out the form if the ad said:

"You can have an exciting career in the healthcare field where you make $8/hr, get called on your days off, risk being bitten, slapped and urinated on, and are disrespected by patients, their families, and management! Sign up today to spend $20,000 at a private college to get your "degree" to become a CNA!"

I don't know...if it were me writing the article, I think I might have at least added that you get to wear scrubs instead of a suit and tie. That's a just about indisputable perk. :wink2:
