People used to (actually still do) that nursing is recession proof and it'll be easy to find a job. Right now I'm still unemployed can't find a job anywhere like many others. What I'm asking is for the grads within this timeframe is, were you able to find a job very easily? Was nursing ever actually a career that was like "OH MAN I CAN GET A JOB EASILY WITH THIS DEGREE!"
Right now, though even if things do get better we have so many damn nursing schools pumping out new grads I feel like job security is going to be minimal due to corporate greed and knowing there will be nurses to replace existing ones.
My mom is a proud RN part of the reason why I chose to be a nurse also due to not being able to afford the other schools I was accepted to so I thought Nursing would actually be a degree that would have a good rate of return on my investment. Right now I'm looking at a 80K money pit that's still growing because of additional costs like licensures.
