a close friend of mine just got a job
as a nurse. We both started back to school around the same time. His major(RN) only required a associates degree. He graduates this May. He got the
offer today for $24.12 and hour with 3- 12 hour days. Overtime is time and a half whenever he wants. Plus, if he or his family go to the hospital
there every visit is 1/2 off discount. I think I made the wrong choice of becoming a teacher.
He will be living pretty nicely and can say KISS MY ASS! to the mattress business.

one of our friends is finishing up school and going into the same profession.
she will be making nice money.
i'd love that kind of cash.
I'm too dumb / disconnected to ever go to school.
I barely made it through UD high with enough credits / attention span

nursing is considered a fast growing, decent paying profession.
fewer and fewer and fewer americans are going into it (in part because of the insurance and liabilities), but it pays well.
when we were at the hospital for three months with our daughter, the nurses were telling us that a lot of recruiting happens in places like the
Philippines where there are good schools and English is widely spoken.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

My wife starts back in school this fall part time for to finish her nursing degree now that our youngest is almost out of diapers. I will be psyched
to see a second income in the household in a few years.

I work in a hospital and I'd say about half the nursing staff are Filipino's (or however the fuck you spell it) The dudes are the gayest dudes ever.
Seriously. They all want to be Freddy Mercury.

My buddy has 4 kids and has a ton of bullshit to deal with and its amazing he has made it. It was tough for him just to get his RN.

My sis-in-law has been working in the states as an RN for 12 years, hospitals fight over her.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

My wife is a nurse. She got paid really well when we were in NYC, but we have no idea where that money went since we really have nothing to show for
it. She took a 20k/year pay cut to work in CT, but she can get overtime now. In NYC she was salary. I think that had to do with her hospital being
non-profit. Anyway, it's a good profession and there's a very high demand for nurses. Yale New Haven Hospital is giving signing bonuses of 30k
spread over 3 years. Nursing hours can be kinda shitty though. My wife worked the night shift when we were in NYC and I barely saw her.

A lot of states are recruiting at Canadian schools. It's good for them, but it sucks for Canada because a lot of future doctors and nurses are
crossing the border for promises of more money. Thankfully are dollar has come back strong in a big way which takes away one of the incentives
students are being promised.
