Nurses that “only do it for the money”

What is your thought on nurses who only join the profession for financial gains?

    More power to them. This job isn’t a “calling” for me either.

    Yeah. As long as they do their job, I don't give a flying fruit basket what motivates them.

    Those who go into nursing because it's just a job are usually easier to deal with than the bleeding hearts are anyway.

    I'd say those nurses are coocoo! I think the pay is great but there has to be a less stressful way to get rich.

    Working in a 24/7 industry; blood, poop, pee, and vomit. Sign me up ?.

    What does it matter what gets someone out of bed for their shift if they are doing the job they are hired for?

    I'm more annoyed by the nurses who think they are Mother Teresa. They are self righteous Polyannas. You can't even complain about irritating patients around them, they are too saintly for that.

    Well, Mom always said, "If you can't be good Davey, at least be interesting!"

    Well, there are about 1,000,000,000 posts on AN dealing with that precise issue. And that's a low estimate.

    What do we think of firefighters who are only in it for the money? How about baristas? Shoe salepeople? Who cares why they do what they do as long as they do it decently? And if they don't do it decently, then it's a problem for someone.

    Are nurses supposed to be inherently different? Do we somehow have different DNA from everyone else?
