You've got to be kidding! Obviously you aren't in health care or are married to a nurse etc because if you had personal knowledge of this profession you wouldn't say that!
They couldn't pay me enough to stay....and they tried. Nurses don't make enough for all they have to do - and most would never stay for the money - it's a profession that requires much more of you than $$$ signs in your eyes!
The job is incredibly stressful, tremendous responsibility and SHORT STAFFED all the time!!!
You can make more money elsewhere, in business etc - and you don't have to worry that you'll make a mistake and actually harm or kill someone!
It's a very demanding job - you'd learn alot following a RN around for one shift, even 1 hour - and I bet you'd change your mind - honestly!
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, Sunny. The ones who burn out never should have been in it in the first place. We'll just have to agree to disagree, as they say.
