neonatal_nurse Specializes in NICU, Nursery. Nov 6, 2009 I so agree with the first post! Just want to let people know who are planning to take up nursing just for the money to think about it really really hard. It's not easy. It's definitely not for everyone. Even if you've graduated and have all your exams, but if you can't step up your game and crumble under pressure, this is not for you. I know some people who actually quit because they basically can't handle the job.And fyi, money won't be flowing out of your ears once you start working. I wish. 0 Likes
