[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]

Your dh's should let your dd decide what she wants to do with HER life.  I wouldn't try to convince him at all because it will seem like you are trying to appease him and get his approval.  Your dh got to decide his path and nursing is a very honorable and respectable profession.

Maybe have you dd say I've decided to be a professional pole dancer because they make lots of money!  And when he objects than maybe nursing will look good.[/quote]
