    If only there were some free way to basically prevent you from requiring hospitalization and nursing care that were widely available and microchip free.

    Maybe we'll get there, one day.

    I'm 46 years old, a college graduate and though I don't work corporate jobs anymore ( not by choice initially) I enjoyed my finance jobs.

    All that being said, I wish my 82 year old retired registered nurse mother would have at least asked me to think about nursing when I was a student.

    They make so much I really don't really like hearing about all the hours. I just think, 6 figures sure sounds nice

    There are other and easier ways to make 6 figures. From what I've heard and seen from people I know who are nurses you shouldn't get into it for the money. Nurses deserve what they are paid and deserve more but to be nurse I think you need to have a calling for really wanting to help people.

    What are easy jobs that you don't have to have to be that smart or go to that much schooling that makes 6 figures?

    The states run by morons like DeSantis and Abbott will be the ones seeing the most devastation due to COVID19. You can add Kemp to the list as well. GOP = death enablers

    I also have a little perspective of being in the hospital over ten times the last 8 years do to diabetic complications. These visits could have been avoided had I been more diligent in taking care of myself just FYI.

    Anyway I don't think it's as much of a vocation that needs a calling. You do have to have good bedside manner and you have to willing to do things like clean patients. Not everyone can meet that criteria but you don't have to be super dedicated. There are tons nurses. I will say I don't think ever met one whom I would complain about and some are better than others.

    lol, its amaizng now that finally brought people together...Gov Newson will goto a 10k dinner during the pandemic when the lobbyist pulsl him in, Cuomo is overtly a mob boss like trump, self serving, threatening, and thinking hes above the law while touting law and order...classic, his base eats it all up. And abbot, stands for nothing(no pun intended) falls for anything green. You'd be surprised to see how little their about free market principle if the autodealers give em a little dough and say no to sellng tesla direct here.

    Politics is a clownshow, the media participates, and they've created a WWE heel/hero situation that doesn't help any american, just the news and poltiicians. GErry mandering, ear marking, lobbyingg...all just legalized form of bribery that allows tehse politicians to be more out of touch to most americans, private jet politicians who we see for photo ops when things are real good or real bad...thats it.

    agreed, but in our climate, its all about what about.

    Theyll watch blantant corruption by abbot, trump, kushner and say but but what about biden, we're the law and order...as long as those laws arent annoying to our rich over lords

    Then biden blindies will say hes better than trump ,what abotu turmp...
    both sides excusing for some reason these dudes helping themselves to use power to give their own benefits and excusing it for their 'teams'

    media has made americans stupid and blind and directed the conversation to pointing out the other side in response to corruption on either side. Fox and CNN will win with guaranteed bases to pander too, actual legislation and policies are slowed..americans lose, and a lowest approved congress nad senate, whenver either side controls it, continues to persist...

    F***ing POS CS Abbott has it covered, though. Blame the rise in Covid on the Latinos crossing the border by the "hundreds of thousands".

    As Trump told Billy Bush once, "Just say it." (Something you know is false, to the public.) "They'll believe you."

    And I run into people who repeat the Covid-border thing as if Moses delivered the news down from Sinai. These tend to be unvaccinated Republicans, of course. It's not the MAGA person's fault that Covid is booming again and I am being forced (a) back home to work or (b) to wear a mask again AT work despite proof of vaccination. Nope. It's the swarm of Mex'cans World War Z'ing their way over the border wall.

    the only nurses making 6 figures are in California, NY, the ones doing travel nursing, or the ones working an insane amount of 12 hour night shift and OT

    nursing is a thankless job for real…they deserve all the respect
