[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nurses I know are well paid (one is a nurse practitioner) and have amazing flexibility, especially if you have children. It's one of the few professions where you can dial it back to PT (if you want) when you are raising children and then jump right back in later. [/quote]

Our kids aren’t looking for mommy jobs — they may not get married, may not have kids, so we are focused on jobs where they will be the breadwinner. Wouldn’t nursing be a good option if they don’t go PT?  I don’t think they will want to be traveling nurses, and I don’t want to count on another pandemic. But being like a pediatric hospital nurse should clear like $100k right?[/quote]

Why is your daughter more interested in nursing than being a physician, for example? Just trying to understand what she's looking for.

If she doesn't have a spouse/kids, being a travel nurse is really lucrative.[/quote]

You do realize that the education differential between becoming an RN and becoming a doctor is huge, yes? In two years you can be an RN.  It takes twelve years to become a doctor.[/quote]

Bigger issue would education cost, taking on $300k med school debt is scary[/quote]
