:roll I could not resist replying to this!! I cannot tell you how many times I &/or my nursing buds have stated this very same quote!! :chuckle Nice to know we're not alone in that thought!! I've only been in nursing for about a year & a half now, before that I did insurance for 14 years. I see so many similarities in the 2 jobs & the things that I hated about both were the paperwork & the upper level management who, let's face it, have no clue what goes on in the "real world"!! But I truly feel that nursing has some great rewards which is way more than I can say for the insurance world!! (Now ask me 14 years down the road & who knows what I'll say!!) It would be nice to have some sort of nurses union though! Wonder why we don't?!! Anyway, just my 2 cents worth!
