CE,
Your post was truly heartfelt. How unselfish you must be...Tell me though, you say that when you went into nursing school it was not for the monetary benefits, is it still that way now? Or do you work for free?
Yes, I am being sarcastic but I do not intend to attack you personally. Rather, I wish to point out that in todays society one gets what one pays for and therefore if nurses are paid very little, then patients get very little...
Career- A chosen pursuit; a profession or occupation.
Volunteer- To do charitable or helpful work without pay
