A nurse is a glorified janitor.

A nurse cleans up faeces, vomit and changes soiled linen.

In summary, if you don't mind wiping asses, sponge-bathing retards and scraping-dick-sores then you should become a nurse!

thats a nursing assistant

I don't know what RN's make in other parts of the US but in New Jersey a BSN working full time in a hospital with very little over time is making over 100K.  I work with a guy who's wife is a nurse practitioner and her base is 130K.  Getting a BSN degree or a nurse practitioner degree is no joke but a lot of hard work.

Just finished first semester, main reason I havent been on here in awhile, that shit was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I got straight A's in all my pre reqs. but 2 b's and 2 a's in nursing.  It doesn't help that my school counts a's as 92% and above.  Fucking up my chance at scholarships.

Any way for me the reason I did nursing instead of med school is time and a nasty divorce.  In a year and a half I will be a RN and already have some jobs lined up in the 30-35 an hour range, and I know nurses can make a lot more than that in the big city markets.  If I would try for med school I would need a year and half to finish my bachelors in biology, than do excellent on my MCAT, than 4 years of med school and up to 7 years of residency!  I would be in my early 40's before I was even done!

I thought becoming a Nurse Practitioner was just about as difficult as becoming a Doctor?  ???

thats like saying teaching community college physics is the same as being the top military nuclear physicist

Have you seen the price of malpractice insurance?

Bingo.

Same with becomming a P.A.

Most go with that because you can do 90% what a doc can (script restrictions are really the only difference) without the huge insurance cost.
