wiggs thinks he's gonna be like the nurse Buck from the movie kill bill but reality couldn't be more opposite.

showering old people, cleaning their rotting wounds.. and the smell of them  :-X. 10 hours a day and 2000 dollars, not euros- a month. I'd rather be unemployed.

Many nurses make a lot more than that. The average salary is like 35 dollars an hour. I think the salary you're talking about is a nurse with a 2 year associates degree from a community college at the lowest level in the hospital and even then they still make more than 2K a month

mark my words, wiggs is going to be a medical assistant or paramedic at best, that's 29-31k (dollars) a year.

sure if he becomes a registered nurse he will be making over 60k a year, but I don't think so

you're talking two jobs.  that's possible with most professions.  i don't know any RNs making $60/hr (124k from a single job) in the healthcare systems i contract with.  new grads can't even get a job in the state.

In New Jersey my daughter is a BSN and she makes over 100.  Most nurse practitioners in NJ make 130K.  A nurse today is a highly technical field in medicine. A doctor in the hospital sees you for 10 minutes a day.  It's the nurse who is with you  24/7  reading the blood tests getting the hospital's doctor of pharmacy to consult with over prescribed medicines.  She is the one calling the doctor on your behalf when something could be done to improve your health. They also have kept many a doctor from killing the patient. 

The schooling isn't easy and they most credible schools have high standards to get in.

Correct!

Here in NYC, Registered Nurses fresh out of school with a Bachelors Degree start between 80-85K. Nurse Practitioners are already making well above 130K in most PRIVATE hospitals in Manhattan.

Years ago, I used to work for a company that would provide auditing services to a few of the major hospital institutions in NY City. We used to audit their payroll division and the vast majority of RN's were making well over 100K per year with very limited over time.

If any of you guys are interested, head over to Salary.com and check out Registered Nurse vs Nurse Practitioner salaries in NYC. These suckers make a lot of money.

Physicians Assistant (the career I am pushing my nephew to pursue) also make well over $115K in most private hospitals of NYC.
