Wow! The pay rate vs housing sounds excellent in WI!! I live in NYC, my hourly rate is 24.53 as an x-ray tech, but avg house in Brooklyn is 600,000 or more. To live in Manhattan, I'd have to work 3 jobs and not eat or buy anything ever...How much do...

Yes, you definitely earn your paychecks, you are angels in scrubs!! I have nothing but respect for nurses!!

I'm glad this topic has gotten a lot of you stirred up, that's awesome that we got such a wide spectrum of viewpoints on this topic! I never new that some of you guys and gals don't have locker rooms to change, like we do here in NYC, that poses an i...
