ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Do you have any idea about what registered nurses do or about the competitive science education we receive? I suggest YOU educate yourself to not make statements about professions you don’t understand.

If being a nurse was so easy, why is my starting salary right out of college $60K with bonuses as a staff nurse?
Have you ever heard of advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists? My relative (a man, by the way) is a nurse anesthetist who brings home over $250K per year. And nurse practitioners make somewhere over $100K depending on their type of work. There are also the administrators and directors in hospitals (who are required to be nurses) who all make well over $150K depending on the department.

If nursing was such a non-intellectual field, why were there several lawyers, engineers, etc. in my graduating nursing class? As a matter of fact I was taught by a lawyer who is also a nurse. I myself also have a degree in classical music.

I suggest that in the future you don’t write about what you don’t know.
Be a professional.
I am.

Very interesting article, as a woman I like to believe, anyone can be anything if they desired. But someone is in traditional job or not, as long as she is happy, that is all that matters.

I was in high tech industry and I thrived and enjoyed it while I was there, I am equally happy (or more) being home with my 2 little ones. and doing something from home. Learning should never stop, that is the key.
