Is nursing the new CS?

[Anonymous]

It seems to me hang everyone is going into nursing, work in the health field etc. Is nursing the new CS? I'm sure Wall Street will soon find a way to import cheap nurses to depress wages, advance as much automation as possible in the healthcare field and buy doctor practices etc.

Nurse here. We've been importing cheap nurses for decades, AI is real, and non-employed physician practices are going the way of the dinosaur. VC firms are buying hospitals while the big players get bigger and rural hospitals are increasingly squeezed.

Possibly. My SIL made $350K as a travel nurse during COVID with 2 YOE. Now she’s back to $150K in a normal non travel role and complaining it’s not enough. My other friend is a CRNA making $300K for 3 12 hour shifts a week with 10 weeks guaranteed off before overtime.
