  • I talk about the reasons why being a nurse is worth it. It's easy to see all the negative reasons why being a nurse isn't worth it. I talk about the reasons why being a nurse has the best options and why you should consider the positive aspects of being a nurse.

    Love this video! I totally agree with you. I chose nursing over medicine because of the incredible flexibility the nursing profession has and it's still one of the best decisions I've ever made. There is SO much you can do as a nurse and since the pandemic, nursing has become even more attractive. I take 2-3 travel contracts a year, i work as much as possible then relax the rest of the year. I now own a small business and still take nursing contracts from time to time. This way I don't feel burnt out and I still have time for my growing family. Nursing is the best career ever!

    Even with a lot of traveling nursing job, if I had to go back and do it all over again, I would have done software engineering or IT. Working from home and getting paid 200k+ after couple years haha totally worth it.
    Shame nursing field is gonna get worse and worse

      @@CrosbyTheNomadNurse ya but staff nursing is the majority so however stuff nurses are treating and how much money they are making will be a good gauge on how the profession as whole is doing.
      In that terms, other bachelor's degree like software engineering or IT are better pay and better life/work balance.
      Idk I guess every profession have their problems but damn nursing really have it bad

      My husband is in tech, it's a lot easier to get into now with tech bootcamps. It has crossed my mind a few times to switch to tech but travel nursing pay is so good right now and i also hate math so... Nursing for life!

      I'm doing that too ,the 1 year program, if you don't like it can still use the degree to do laser skin, botox etc. Don't go back to school after this, nursing degree in 5 degrees in one and you can do other jobs instead of nursing with the degree

    nursing is bad, no paid intership. long working hours (hours you have to be present if you work in the hospital), bad staffing ratio, bad protection (PPE, in ontario we are still talking about N95 or not, you see journalist with full body protection with N95 back in 2020), other interprofessional health care workers dump their work on you (ie pharmacist asking you to connect with pts in room with phone, where they can just walk to talk to pt), not to mention, anxiety of making a mistake at work, leaving nurses sleepless between shifts.

      You’re young 25 you can restart whenever you want. It might look dumb to others but you need to put yourself first. If you don’t like nursing in school you won’t like it real life. And you can Separate your happiness from your job. But Nursing isn’t a job you do for the salary it’s cause you enjoy it.

      25 is not too old at all. People go back to college in their 50's and 60's.

    I work in Radiology and I’m really considering making the switch because of the opportunities. HOWEVER right now I’m choosing not to get vaccinated. Do you think it’s still a viable profession with those that don’t want the v? I know things change everyday so it may be hard to gage. I just don’t want to have any problems down the road with finding a job.

      This is really my concern. I was going to ask the same question. However, I think you’ll be fine if you can provide some kind of religious exemption. I do believe that if you are called into the nursing profession, God will provide a way for you without going against your convictions. Put your trust and your faith in God first and everything will work out according to Gods plan. Do not worry, and do not let this be a stumbling block for you. Having this in mind gives me peace, and I hope it can be the same for you. God bless you!
