I know a few nurses, and yea, they make easy 6 figures.
Attend a 2-year community college, then apply to the nursing program, earning 6 figures with basically zero debt.

My wife makes double that. Obviously, some of it depends on experience, administrative level, and willingness to work overtime.

Would you rather communicate most of your issues to Dr. Patel and his resident Dr. Rajesh? That’s not how it works

R.N. is a good career path tbh... Very in demand, easy to get a job, good benefits, security, and can make good money, especially with OT.

How many hours do you have to work tho?
I hear they work 50 plus hours a week and unlike an office job where you can just chill and end up maybe working 10-20 hours a week for the same pay this job seems like you’d actually be working the 50 hours.
Doesn’t seem worth it. Think they deserve more.

Saying "office job" is a pretty broad word

Most jobs that quote 40 hour weeks rarely require an actual 40 hours whereas with a nurse they are actually working for every penny.
Seems like a tough and demanding job and I think they are underpaid tbh

Which, to the best of my knowledge, if the hospital was a school, it’s kind of like being the principal.

But like anything else, as you work your way up the food chain, you start to get further and further removed from that type of thing

Who else deserves to make 6 figures? BlackRock? Jamie Dimon?..Sam Altman? Jfl what a braindead loser ass take.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

its retarded to think nurses don't deserve their income... It's one field that deserves its income. Nurses basically run the hospital, it's not the doctors. Anyone who spent serious time in a hospital understands this.
