Sure - just not in the United States.
SOME STATISTICS TO CONSIDER:
* From 1995-2008, admission applications to U.S. medical schools fell by almost 20%.
* Last year there were 110 accredited training positions in heart surgery in the U.S. Sixty applied.
* There are roughly one half a million unfilled nursing positions here.
* Compared to other nations, the U.S. ranks #1 in spending on healthcare by a very wide margin.
* In 2010, we spent 17.6% of GDP. Germany, in second position, spent 11.6%.
* The US is #34 in infant mortality, #40 in population longevity, #81 in hospital beds per 1,000 people. The U.S. is #52 in doctors per 1,000 people (2.3), but we maintain our top position in lawyers per 1,000 people (3.7).
My neice is now doing her internship at a hospital in Michigan.
She owes over $150,000 dollars for her college.
No.
She will waste her 20’s slaving for nothing only to find a load of debt and a middle class salary at the end. She’ll be 30, broke, and with no savings.
She should be a Nurse Practitioner is she is just dying to go into medicine, but I would tell me daughter to study finance, or accounting.
Though I’d be happiest if she skipped college and became an electrician or a helicopter pilot instead. I’d actually pay for that.
My. Daughter is a sophomore in pre med I’m totally trying to talk her out of it
If I was a young, ambitious doctor now, I’d be looking to set up a medical tourism facility outside the US, probably Chile.
What does she want to do?
Yes, if she wants to marry a nurse..tick, tick....//...tick, tick......give it time to digest, you'll get it :-)
I am a nurse anesthetist. No one should be entering the health profession right now. If I could get out, I would.
After the collapse of Western Civilization and the takeover of America by Islam as planned by Obama, she will have a very important skill to barter with.
Does she plan on practicing for real or having kids and then just part time?
Women and minorities are quota based for most medical or grad schools and take set aside slots
Maybe from a man who would have practiced forever to support a family with a stay at home mom as his wife
As a conservative....culturally....I know where I stand on this
It is a major issue today....trained medical professional women who end up working less or none after babies
Women are half of med school now
Obamacare notwithstanding
If she wants to work for the government, but on her own if sued for malpractice, sure. What’s not to like?
Everyone will have health care insurance, no one will have a doctor.
It's the 0bamugabe way!
Just not in some Islamic country.
