I beg to differ. School nurses have the lowest pay rate at $30 per hour. At a hospital on the night shift you could earn up to $80 per hour. I have worked at a hospital before and the nurses I have encountered do not deserve what they get paid. Anyway, at $9.50 per hour you could do better at a retail store
I was trying to refer to entry level orderlies, my sister does VERY well as a psych nurse, well over $80 per hour. Yeah, nursing can be a great profession for men or women. Watch out for the politics, though.
Yes. So true. Politics suck. And no we are NOT overpaid.
Bachelor of Nursing is the HARDEST undergrad degree out there. I work night shift in open heart surgery icu. Definitely don't make 80. That has to be NY or Cali where cost of living = ass rape!!!!
It's a tough job, requires education & skill, plus people skills despite the stress. My sister is actually a PA now & basically runs her own business under supervision of a psychiatrist. Btw, I get veeery snarky myself under time pressure & stress. Good luck to you.
