[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find is weird that OP has decided that nursing must be a good gig and is determined to elicit responses that support her flawed hypothesis. Will you find nurses who say it’s been a good career path? I certainly hope so. But Personally, I couldn’t imagine pressuring my child to go into nursing after the last two years. I would be Encouraging professional careers that offer a path to work remotely. [/quote]

Didn’t OP say her daughter WANTED to be a nurse but her dad/ OPs husband was actively discouraging it? I’m a nurse and I’ve had a varied career and I can’t imagine doing a different job. I was a hospital nurse for 5 years, then went back to school while working 2 shifts a week to become a nurse practitioner, and I’ve worked in a few roles as an NP (primary care for a few years, then in a pediatric cardiology specialty clinic, and now as a midlevel provider in the pediatric ER). Considering making a change when the kids are older to be an NP in the county school system. I like variety, I like working with people, and I like medicine and nursing is truly a perfect fit for me. My family is UMC in DC and I went to Brown undergrad before Johns Hopkins accelerated BSN nursing program once I graduated Brown (not sure if that program is still there). Only sharing this to point out that I clearly had other career options and my parents clearly had enough money to support me in my choice. This was truly my top choice. [/quote]

So you make enough to buy your own home?  That seems to be a sticky point for Op [/quote]
