[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish and it seems Jewish nurses are very rare. Lots of Jewish women are teachers and social workers, but not nurses. I think it has a blue collar "stigma" in our community. [/quote] I'm a Jewish nurse with a master's degree. We exist! My family has been very supportive of my career choice. I work at the bedside, have earned certification in my specialties, and care for patients who require advanced cardiac/pulmonary life support (ventricular-assist devices, ECMO, etc.). I chose nursing over medicine for many reasons (holistic approach to patient care, more lifestyle flexibility, ability to change specialties without obtaining a new degree, less student loan debt). I'm not sure what "collar" you would call me, but when sh!t gets real, the team I work with (MDs, PAs, NPs, and bedside nurses from all educational backgrounds) can save your life. I'm married to a "pink collar" librarian, FWIW.[/quote]
