[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurses are overworked.[/quote]

Nurses don't take work home, nor are they expected to.

Nursing has a ratio problem, so yes they're "overworked" while on the clock, but they can home home without having to have patient meetings and paperwork on their own time.[/quote]

Nurses and other medical professionals have to work holidays. I have missed either Thanksgiving or Christmas with my family every year of my adult life. Teachers don't have that problem.[/quote]
I’m a teacher and my husband is a medical professional. We both worked on MLK day, but my work was completed at home, unpaid, while he worked for time and a half. THAT is the problem. [/quote]

Please tell us what kind of medical professional he is, how much his education cost, what degrees has had and how long it took, and what hours he worked and how much he got paid during training.[/quote]
I don’t owe you that information.
Here’s what I’ll tell you, though. He attended a private school for his graduate degree (by choice) and I competed for a fellowship where mine was subsidized. We come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and I never took any student loans. I paid for my undergraduate degree in cash by working through school, whereas his family paid for his private school tuition. We both have a master’s degree. He takes no work home, and works three days a week. I take considerable work home and work five days a week. He makes $150,000 and I make $54,000. [/quote]

Why do so many women on this forum have this bizarre competition going on with their husbands? It sounds resentful and not good for the marriage. Be happy he outearns you.[/quote]
