I'm a teacher thinking of leaving the profession for Nursing School/new career. We live in Florida and it seems like there is some great pay and work/benfits here, like sign-on bonuses, work 3 -12hr shifts and get 4 days off... etc. The pay seems nice, too- starting at $50,000?. Compared to teaching, almost anything is better. :icon_roll So, I just want to know from professionals, what do you feel are the pros and cons of nursing? What would you tell someone they need to know before they get into the profession? THANKS!!! :bowingpur
