      Not all nurses are paid adequately in the states, but its getting there because many would rather resign and find ways to use their skills from home than be underpaid. The labor shortage and pandemic helped to shed light on a system that was already broken. At least now its still broken, but ppl can have higher wages

    My mom was on call as a personal nurse for a Saudian Princess. A FREAKING ROYALTY. She got paid twice her salary (which is already a lot) and she got to ride luxury cars (because she has to be with the princess most of the time) and her stories during that time were immaculate. The princess has taken a liking to her and wanted her to work more in the palace but my mom preferred to work in a hospital. But the experience was exemplary!!

Transfer, move, or straight up quit a hospital if you hit a point where it's not good enough. As a nurse, you have options, which is why it's unqiue and incredible!

      Not everywhere. The hospitals are really bad with everything you just said and nursing homes primarily. However, there are some awesome moments for it. It's not all bad. And travel nursing... omg. You get paid BANK! in a crisis, a friend I know spent 2 months out of state as their travel assignment & made literally a little over $200k... in 2 months. So yeah it's totally worth it. Home health gets paid pretty well in my state, specialty nurses do as well, & you just have to look outside the box of typical hospital jobs & such. Agencies right now are also paying bank to nurses. That's why so many quit & joined to get that pay.

    "Doesn't require that much school."
    When you study in a top nursing school and you spend 5 hours at school for lectures and another 5 hours in the hospital for training, Monday-Friday. You get home, spend at least 5-6 hours studying for tomorrow's lectures as well as doing your required paperwork for your hospital duty. Add another 2-3 hours to that routine for your lunch break and commute to and from your home-school-hospital-home again. Do that for your 2nd and 3rd year of college with only a 2-week break in between semesters, a 2-week Christmas break and a 2-week summer break, because, that's right, you have to do the same routine during summers.
    On your 4th and final year of nursing school, you spend 3 days at school from 7am - 5pm for lectures, 3 days in the hospital for your hospital training and your SUNDAYS in school again to review for your national licensure exam. School work gets so stressful that you and your classmates start contracting viral diseases like chickenpox, German measles, Bell's palsy, etc. and you start randomly weeping because you're just so exhausted. Then finally, you graduate! Congrats! Get a week off and then go back to school for your intensive review which lasts for THE WHOLE SUMMER. Yes, Miki, it "doesn't require that much school."

    What they leave out is what you endure physically and mentally every single day.
    A lot of the patients live in your mind forever and you see them. The events don’t go away.
    It isn’t just the nurses it’s every discipline in medicine that works hard every day for the patients. Your 8 or 12 hour day can easily become 12- 20 hours depending on what is going on. Holidays occur whenever. There are many people who work in medicine besides doctors and nurses behind the scenes who are undervalued, unseen and underpaid. Don’t ever become a nurse for the paycheck. It will be very obvious to everyone including the patient and their family. You need a servant heart, empathy and sympathy or choose a different career.

      @@AstroZombie1 Idk why this is a rumor in the US. You don't get free healthcare anywhere in Europe. You get mandatory healthcare. Meaning you HAVE TO pay for healthcare insurance. The amount you pay either depends on your income (if you choose public insurance) or on your health (if you choose private insurance). The system is a little different in every country, but in every country you still have to pay for some kind of insurance and if they wanted to pay nurses more, they could. They take money from us anyways. It's on the government how much they take and how they use it. They could raise insurance money, they could erase insurances and just finance hospitals from taxes, which would probably be the best, because rightnow in many european countries hospitals still have to work profitable, which doesn't suit the idea of "healthcare for everyone" imo. They might take patients in that don't actually need to be in a hospital just because they're profitable (e.g. because of private insurance) and they might decline other patients that are not profitable. They would not decline someone in danger of death ofc, but if it's not completely clear if they have to be in a hospital or not or how long they gotta be there, the price tag definitely matters.

      @janinerodrigueze6344 Pƙed rokem +16

      @aaron b fast food and nursing are two different fields with relatively the same amount of stress. In fast food, you have to think about what both your manager and customers would need, you need to be at the top of your performance all the time and it's incredibly taxing. I was incredibly underpaid, I can barely pay for all the bills I had, and I've had toxic managers that would find fault in everything that I do which forced me to get my nursing degree and get the hell out of that industry. In nursing, I could relax a little bit more since the care facility that I'm in has an adequate amount of nurses on staff. If you're thinking about getting into nursing, I'd recommend either getting a one-year LPN first then getting a BSN later on if you like it, or maybe getting into a surgical technician role (the program could last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the school you choose) since I've heard they are paid well without the toll of a large patient to staff ratio. If you get hired into a hospital as an LPN or surgical tech, and if you want to become a registered nurse later on, most of the time they will pay for your tuition fees to go back to school and study nursing.
      I like nursing, I don't mind the heavy duty that we do sometimes. I won't say it's for everyone with the responsibilities we have for our patient's life, especially now that we're in the middle of a nursing shortage, but if you want to become a nurse then I wish you luck! It's infinitely better than the shitty fast-food industry that we have right now

    My mom has been a nurse for many years. Obviously it’s a tough job but it’s a very solid career (at least where I’m from). The pay is good, and there are so many opportunities to work in different areas (like surgery, psychiatry, etc, you can work in a lot of different places too, not just a hospital) and to advance your career. There are lots of options. But the hours tough and you gotta be able to handle seeing sick, dying patients and doing dirty work lol. Plus you only need 1 year of school before you can start working, and then you can continue working while you’re studying.

    • @Noktackey1

      Not 1 year of school, they need at least 4 years. 2 years to finish pre-reqs (if you are fast and smart, this can be shortened to one productive year, but most people not) another 2 years to finish associate then can start working. You can continue to work for BSN taking additional 6 months-2 years depends on the program that accepts you, so not one year. This is ADN-BSN route. If you go straight to university level of nursing. It takes 4 years to get a BSN. Accelerated programs take almost two years but that's only if you already have a Bachelor's in different field and want to switch to nursing. RNs and CNAs go through different education.

You’re exposed to every single outbreak out there most the time without proper protection. You are expendable and replaceable. Is it worth it? Hell no.. become a dam CZcamsr or tiktoker like she did

. You have to LOVE what you do. Money isn’t shit 
 as fast as we got it, it was taken away. Taxes are no joke. Travel nursing is fun but not safe it’s better to settle into one hospital and build your retirement and seniority (but travel when young and single). It’s NOT FOR EVERYONE. I have known so many who got their RN who have no business being around sick people because they just do not care. So if it’s something you’re thinking about. Look at the bad side and ask yourself if it’ll be worth it

    Our job is definitely challenging, however, compared to other career paths that require only a bachelors degree we are doing pretty good and I am thankful!

      EMT is hard on your body , my cousin is one 15 years in she regrets it. Pay is low too. Nursing is it. All the nurses I’ve seen have good cars , nice purses, eat well , and are relaxed ,I live in California. Pay is good.

    I've in community College for 3 years just switching my major back and forth. Yesterday, I was looking at the classes for nursing to transfer to uni (since I don't know what I am doing anymore) so much communication classes and my mental health is barely hanging from seeing that 🙃

      ​@@DigitalKurisu I took one year off of school for a full time job. I feel better from the break and now I'm transferring to a CSU. My major is film but I will change it to nursing and minor film. Or double major, it depends on how I do.

    My sister is a nurse in a small hospital
    It was one of her dreams
    She has done all her dreams
    She works Saturday and Sunday and has the weekdays off 😊
    I’d love to go into medical field but my anxiety I couldn’t handle it.

:but seeking help from guidance counselor for my upcoming career leading up to high school graduation - was presented! So I hated chemistry, tests, but went for it. 19 years later a passion still caring and serving others!!! Just a different perspective = nursing, family, jewelry all combined ❀❀đŸ’ȘđŸ»
