Is nursing really a shitty career choice as people say? If you consider the aging population it doesn't look that bad of a career in the current job market.

Liability is high because making a mistake can kill someone. Effort is high because you can work so hard you don't even get to take a shit on the job without being called or paged for something. Hours are long and sometimes unreasonable. And some of the patients and coworkers will be shitty. But it pays well and is a respectable career. I'll just say a lot of nurses end up transitioning away from the bedside and towards management / education or nowadays Nurse practitioner. I will say that NP programs are often hokem compared to medical school and it's kind of scary they get almost the same powers as a doctor in many states. I'd also look at respiratory therapy, physical therapist, and some of the other modalities to see if those are also something you'd be interested in. Some people just do better at those than nursing for whatever reason. Good luck. And please don't attend some shitty for profit college and try to attend a legit state school or a legit private school
>>34543826I'm currently a nurse and this is all very accurate, couldnt have said it better myself. Biggest mistake I made was getting depressed in nursing school and losing sight of the ultimate goal therefore letting my grades drop;not only are there floors that suited me more as a person to the point that I kinda like my job, the best thing you can do with it is to use it as a spring board to get into other parts of the both lucrative and somewhat meaningful world of healthcare. Honestly if you cant handle how frontline it all is theres other parts of healthcare that offer something similar, albeit at some sort of a cost.
