In what world are doctors blue collar workers? Are you nuts?


DP. If doctors are white collar, then so are nurses.

In a world where Donald Trump can say he considers himself kind of a blue collar worker.

RN here. It's really neither. Not that I am offended if someone calls me blue collar, I just don't think it fits into either category

I think it depends on where you end up. I know two professional nurses - one with a bachelor's and one with a master's in nursing - and both ended up in managerial positions. I consider them white collar. The people who are staff nurses I suppose I would consider blue collar (though typically well paid!).

Overall, they're white collar middle class with borderline prole status.

+1. It's neither manual labor (though it does involve physical work) nor a desk job (though it does involve paperwork).

Because of the schooling required, I consider it white collar even though it does contain a lot of manual work.

On the one hand, nurses are professional and many have 4 year college degrees now. On the other hand, they get paid by the hour and have to do a lot of physical tasks.
