OK, I know everyone goes into nursing for different reasons and I will be the 1st to say with any career you should look at the salary range and job market. With that said I am still shocked with some of the things some people say:uhoh3:
I was looking at a discussion tonight for school where people were introducing themselves and this was the response by someone
'I've heard they make a lot of money. I need a lot of money' in regards to nursing. Also a few days ago I heard someone say they wanted to be upper middle class or rich so that is why they are going into nursing.
I come from a nursing family and definitely think nurses make a good living(but work very hard for it) but I guess if someone wanted to only look at a career for $$$ reasons there are others that you could look at. I just have seen how hard nurses have to work for their salary and for the most part seem underpaid.
