If you’re okay with being on your feet for 12 hour shifts the next 20+ years.

RNs make great money for the required education. But the clinical work at a place like a hospital is rough. If you can handle the pace and being on your feet, go for it. But plan on transitioning to some sort of aftercare support service role where you can do home health.

Nurses in the shit (direct care at hospitals, etc) are a jaded psychopathic bunch. Get your experience, get out, and try to get your bachelors on a fast track program.

But that's implying that every nursing specialty is the same. When I watched psych nurses, they didn't do hardly any damn thing. When I watched rehab nurses, they didn't do much either. I'd like to do geriatric nursing or psych.

I was shooting for the middle of the bell curve here. If OP is ambitious enough to shoot for a more favorable setting, he can do that and I wish him well.

The money is great and men are valued higher because patients are heavy -- but you'll have to work predominately with and for women, who will have really stupid unit politics and cliques and feuds, etc. -- if you can survive long enough to then get a job at a nice clinic it may be nice, if I had to pick again I would have gone nurse instead of lawyer

you dont hear of much sexual harassment against nurses so i think that means that men dont often get promoted to higher roles and have the chance to take advantage in that field so id stay away from it unless you wanted to be a simp

I work with lawyers every day, and asked one I became friendly with why lawyers I interact with talk about choosing the wrong career. He told me to look up “bimodal distribution of lawyer income” and it all made sense.

He also said he should’ve gone into something medical.

This is the right answer. The good thing a out a degree in Nursing is it’s flexibility. Do a few years on an inpatient floor and THEN LEAVE. Seriously do not stay in inpatient. Do Hospital education or something else, anything, travel nursing even. Trust me you’ll get quickly tired of dealing with all the code grays and weird legal shit on psych floors and geriatrics is just as bad but with way more incontinence.

OP here, thank you, user

>and weird legal shit on psych floors and geriatrics is just as bad but with way more incontinence.
Wdym? My sister was a CNA for many years and she even recommended geriatrics to me. Why do you say otherwise?

you like being accessory to injury- including children, but never being accounted for it- just to know you're still doing it? if you're okay with that then you can fuck so many chicks bro

Nigger, repeat that in English please?

Psyche is a good choice. Ive been a patient in a psyche ward, and they have a pretty sweet job.
Mostly giving out medicines and making sure the patient is ok. If you're a guy youll be especially helpful against some of the..."stronger" patients.

You'll be giving a lot of old people their sponge bath, kek

>Psyche is a good choice. Ive been a patient in a psyche ward, and they have a pretty sweet job.
Same. I like psych wards. Really cute fucking women too.

>If you're a guy youll be especially helpful against some of the..."stronger" patients
You'll also be the one they send to calm down the psychotic chicks who try to claw people's eyes out
t. security guy who sometimes gets sent to watch over hospital wards

Dementia, social placement, cleaning shit all the time. They are frail and their skin tears easily which you will be held accountable for as an RN. And if enough of your patients fall, or if its just one bad fall its your license. All that work and school down the tubes forever. A CNA isn’t really legally responsible for their patients in a way that a nurse is. Your sister just cleans them and goes down the line, she has way less responsibility than an RN.

law school debt for me was 360k
nursing school debt for my wife 24k
ten years later we are both making 160k, except now my debt is 526k

You think you're helping people when you're just "doing your job", but you're really hurting them. Are you okay with that?
You'll be injecting the poisons, and forcing the pills down throats and you'll be thinking you're a hero the whole time, when in fact you're a part of a bigger picture, that you're not privvy to. Can you sleep at night knowing you're just a robot that's likely causing real harm to people, for the jews, but will never see it, because you're being paid and congratulated to never see it that way?

Nurses are whores and should hang, especially after what they've done the past 2 years.

it's shit glorified housekeeping

That's pretty much the CNA's job, user.

I’ve heard horror stories about SNFs and geriatrics in general. Great pay to be sure. But fear of liability.

Shut up, Blart. No one asked you about anything.

that never happens, you're referring to anesthesiologists

Also, good hospitals use constables which are practically cops. You most likely sit outside of a building in some vehicle.

Fuck off drunk ESL. Your bunker in Madripol is about to get bombed get off Any Forums numbnuts.

I know that since I'm a caregiver for a loved one.

Also my sister isn't a CNA anymore but don't try and trivialize what CNA's do. They do a fuck of a lot for little money.

If you're together making $160k as both a lawyer AND a nurse, something fucked up somewhere.

No, fuck nurses. It's not gates and rothschild injecting children with heart attacks, it's YOU. FUCK YOU.

what the fuck is this shit? nice story asshole.

I am an operations assistant and have worked in psych, rehab, aged care, disability care and surgical post op wards. My advice is if you get into nursing you should aim for something on the periphery of the periop environment like a day surgery unit or a pre admission clinic. You won't have to work on a rotating roster and do bullshit shifts and you will do the bare minimum of personal care. Maybe a fleet enema every now and again but that's it. Being an anaesthetic nurse also seems to kick ass but you will have to be available for on call shifts and being on a rotating roster.

Go back to Any Forums with your antivax bullshit, faggot. I don't give a fuck if someone doesn't or does want the shot. Look at all the idiot nurses who decided to quit their high 5 figure job over a goddamned shot. What fucking retards. And guess what? They won't be hired back.

I think they make $160k each…maybe I was being optimistic.

If so, they could go full David Ramsey and have the debt paid off in 2-2.5 years

ALL NURSE WHORES WILL BE LINED UP TRAITORS TO HUMANITY SCUM OF THE EARTH

Like a nurse anesthetist?

started my nursing career at 33 after finishing my degree. currently in a medical ward. was a covid ward for a short time. i've been in the same ward for 1.5 years now. im already burnt out. ward has high turnover, is understaffed, management always looking over your shoulder telling you how to do your work, patients are difficult. I'm currently on a long break after working throughout the whole pandemic with nil holiday, i worry when I go back all the cool people will have gone and work would suck even more.
was in a cardiology ward for a short while, ward was managed effectively, staff were happy, mostly staffed by experienced nurses with little turnover.
Been deployed to emergency a couple of times, fuck that noise.
Nursing is different everywhere, really depends on the ward and how its managed.
