Since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a Nurse. It seemed like a fun, exciting job. As I got older, I also thought more along the lines of job stability. I live in California and everyday there is more news on the Nursing Shortage. I knew that becoming a Nurse would be an in demand career. But, the money? I don't think so. $45,000.00 to start is REALLY not enough money for me to "just do it for the money." Like mentioned before, there are many other less stressful jobs that will pay more than that. As I am only a nursing student, I would like to say that the sacrifice each and every one of us makes to attend nursing school is pretty big to only be doing it "for the money." I am in an ADN program and having to quit my full time job to get my education. If I were doing it for the money, this would definitely NOT be worth it to me. I love taking care of people, but more than that, I value a career that will be around for many years!
