Can they really make that much? Pay scale says the highest is 150k for a hospital admin

Blue collar job with terrible hours.

Statistically it's backed up. Lawyers marry lawyers, doctors marry doctors, etc. There are probably some people that marry nurses, but not maybe very well educated or high-earning.

Blue collar? elaborate.

Yes blue collar. The majority of nurses are associate degree educated, hourly paid workers, and unionized. There are many more bachelor educated nurses now than before, but most of them are still hourly paid workers and if at a major hospital, members of a union.

Some nurses have masters and doctorate degrees and work upper level positions, but these are the minority.

Nurses come from all walks of life at every education level. The profession can't be easily generalized.

Some nurses were stellar students with good family backgrounds, went to a great traditional 4 yr universities and majored in nursing, went on to higher education. They marry well usually to doctors, lawyers, etc.

In my experience, for a decade or more, nursing has been a very attractive career option for women (and men) with a lot of baggage: divorced, single parents, changed careers, children or spouse of an abusive/alcoholic person. It is a secure employment option with decent pay that can be obtained with an associates degree. This makes it a viable option to MANY types of people. I assure you many of them are not smart, caring "called to the profession" because of their nurturing nature. There are plenty of dig-bat nurses that are just there to make a buck.

I'm not a nurse, but this is what I said upstream. I'm glad it has been confirmed by a nurse. NPs who went to Georgetown - yup, they will marry well. Twenty-seven year old recent graduate from community college 2-year associates degree, who spent her 20s working at target and partying until she decided she needed a "career"? Not so much.

The other way around

My niece graduated from Georgetown Nursing School a year ago and she is very pretty. She will do fine!

Directional U or community college nurse, likely with tattoos and all the other trashy low behavior and drama in their family.

True but barely.

Disagree. K-12 teachers all have a minimum of a bachelors degree with most going on to get a masters degree. A nurse is not required to have a bachelors degree.
