[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH grew up in a rural town where like the default path for a LOT of the women in his graduating class was to go into nursing. He wants to dissuade our DD from the field because he feels it is underpaid, over worked, and not given enough respect in the profession. He claims they barely break $100k, despite working long hard hours responsible dozens of patients. My impression is that there is a nursing shortage, and I would expect salaries to rise to approach $150k or so, a solid professional salary. And if you go into a specialty, like CNP or CNA you can break $200k riveling pediatricans and internist salaries. Love to hear stories of nurse careers to balance out my DH's long list of RNs scrapping by in rural Georgia![/quote] What part of your DH’s view do you think is wrong? He’s correct on every count. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a perfectly fine career path, but you do your kid no favors by pretending it’s something it’s not. [/quote]
