I can agree with every point except the last point. I've been an RN for 18 years, and am still several dollars/hour away from $34/hour.
Become a Pharmacist the average pay in NO for a staff pharmacist is 95K a year. No students and you have an assistant to help count the pills and make labels.
Also don't most nurses and doctors have HORRIBLE hours and even totally unpredictable hours? (My uncle is a doctor - and especially as a child, when he worked at a hospital, he would be called out at various times - they were the only people with beepers in the '70s - and had to work all kinds of weird shifts varying pretty much continuously.)
