even general surgeons make $300k minimum,

surgical subspecialties make significantly more than that, ortho avg $500k and neurosurgery $700k+

no one who went to med school makes less than $200k working at least 40 hours/week

The field is changing, 4 years ago i was starting my shift at my unit and every RN on duty was male srs.

I made 106k last year, already at 100 this year as of last check. There is a guy at work that makes 150k regularly, he picks up more call on average. I do 7 days of on call per month, I may or may not get called.

When my mom was a LPN, there was only 2 at best male nurses on each floor. That was about 20 years ago.

When i was going to school for nursing, there were only about 3-4 girls in my class.

When i first started nursing, there were about 7 or 8 girls on my floor.

Now there's like half that. The rest are male nurses. Male nurses are in higher demand over female because male are stronger, physically and mentally. Of course that's not always the case, but it is where i'm from. You know how many times i've seen a female nurse cry her brains out after finding out her patient has passed away. I'm talking about bursting in tears, and leaving the floor for a few minutes so she can recoup.

Nurses don't make 160k, utter bullchit. MAYBE some specialized ones.

have you ever gotten choked up over a patient passing?

An extra 80 shifts per year (assuming 12hr shifts) at $45/hr translates to about $40K of extra income.... so I don't see why $160K would be so outlandish if his hourly pay is more than that (and he worked more than that, which some people do).

I worked about 500hrs of O/T this year and still had 7 weeks vacation. I'm a single guy with no kids though so I just work like a bastard whenever I can and then enjoy my time off. Maybe he does the same.

Let me start this off by telling you guys that I am an actual doctor at a real hospital. A renowned hospital at that.

You DO NOT want to have a unit of nurses operating on their own. At my hospital, we had a group of nurses at one of the wings working without a doctor since that doctor who was in charge of them quit a couple weeks prior. About 10 women nurses on their own without any male doctor around. The HR staff said it would was “Optimal.” I was too busy to tell them otherwise and I had no time to make sure their wing was running fine when I had my own wing to run.

One day, I was walking by their wing, about to go home for the day. As I passed I saw five of the more hefty nurses in the guest room watching the Kardashian show at full volume. The TV was as loud as it could go and they were laughing in unison, pointing at the TV. I shut the TV off and told them that they needed to get back to work since half their staff can't be in there not tending to patients. They had chocolates all over the table and they were looking at me with death stares, saying how it was their “right” to “graze” while at work.

Well, halfway through their explanation a frantic lady came yelling at me. “HELP ME! MY HUSBAND!” She was grabbing my arm and pulling me into their patient room. It wasn't my unit and I was off for the day, but I decided to check it out. I opened the door and there was an middle-aged man lying on the table with the rest of the five nurses in the room. The EKG machine was flatlining and beeping up a storm. The first two nurses I saw were sitting in visitor chairs and making faces at their phones, not even paying attention. Then I looked towards the bed. One of the nurses, the Leading Nurse, was counting to three out loud - “One-Two-Three-BLOW!” There was another nurse in the room and at every third second she would pull the man's pants down and then up again. The last nurse, who was positioned by his waist, would then purse her lips and blow on the man's ding dong (between the pants-pulling intervals.) He was frothing at the mouth and had lipstick all over his lower abdomen and on his ding dong. I yelled “Just what the hell is going on in here?” The counting nurse started to cry and the other two looks up at me with blank stares. “He was dying” the lipsticked nurse piped up. “Yeah, no dip!” I said which caused her to start crying as well. I then took over, placed the defibrillator pads and revived the man with only some brain damage. Anyway, that wing of the hospital was audited after and shut down since then and those nurses split up in to different parts of the hospital.

fking lmaooo if you think any RN outside of LA working 80 hrs a week is pulling close to that. RNs pull in like 60-70k a year average. they make a great salary for their education level.

Nursing is a good field to get into especially if you are the kind of person. Good paying job that is in demand and great job security.

What I mean by the right kind of person is if you aren't that, and just going into it for the money, you're going to have a bad time and probably fail. You've got to have good people skills and communication skills, plus be hard working and attention to details. You screw up, you could lose your licensing or just basically be black listed in the field.

Yeah but what are the hours like?

110k/year 30 hour workweek self employed service provider crew checkin in

What service do you provide knob ghoblin ?

That's a national average.

I was making close to 80k my first year as an RN. 3 years later i'm already in the 6 figures. No not 160k but i'm not entirely far from it.

gj, boyo. mirin

i have a cousin who just graduated from nursing school. sounds like she'll be making some good money with a BSN

About 1/3 are male on my unit and in the ED it’s over half males. Guys are finding out that nursing now pays a decent wage with low level of formal education to get started. Female nurses break down all the time, usually in a demanding unit when the pressure is on mentally. Seen quite a few where charge has to tell them to leave the floor for 15 mins to collect themselves. Just had a male nurse I heard crying in restroom cause he can’t hang.

I’m emotional but usually won’t show it but it gets to you sometimes. Had a guy’s wife dying of cancer and he came out of the room calm, asked to speak with me and broke down sobbing begging me to tell him how much longer she had to live... 2 weeks ago we had an older patient on floor not DNR but should have been for a month, pt family always wanted me to be his nurse. One night he had massive brain hemorrhage, called a code, cpr while the family I got to know over the month cause they were there every waking minute, distraught. Transferred to ICu as rest of family showed up. I was literally holding both his daughters up as they were inconsolable, I shed some tears as well.

Before that had a DNR pt that family would never come and visit. In her last dying hours, I was in her room just talking to her, holding her hand as the RR nurse came in who i know. She asked what I was doing, I Bert stared her and said no one wants to die alone... I could feel her soul being crushed as she said she was so sorry and left the room about to cry. They don’t prepare you for these moments in school.
