Nursing is a good occupation for those who cannot qualify themselves as doctors.

Often tons of overtime as well. There are nurses who make over $200,000, because they take all the over time they can.

“ Nursing is a good occupation for those who cannot qualify themselves as doctors.”

What a nice thing to say.

“”””Nursing is a good occupation for those who cannot qualify themselves as doctors.””””

Nurses are like the high IQ NCOs we see in the military, they prefer to be at the level they are at, being a doctor or a Major is an entirely different world and level of responsibilities, rules, and commitment, and not everyone wants them and that entirely different lifestyle, peer pressure and competition and work atmosphere, some prefer to be at the hands-on level and feel more comfortable there.

Remember the Peter Principle, some people consciously avoid it and want to be comfortable at a guaranteed level of high competency and talents, and do not wish to move to a level where they might be in constant stress and strain.

Typical snobbery.

Doctors are some of the most overrated professionals on the planet.

Many nurses do NOT want to be doctors, not because of the rigors of education, but due to the different approach to patients.

What you said was disgusting

I don’t know why people are so offended by your post here. There are some nasty comments posted on this forum every day, but your post wasn’t one of them.

I’ve known many nurses, and as you said, they earn a good living. Many of them specialize.
