Sky,
Don't even TRY to talk to me about a nursing career. I was a nurse for 8 years and I would rather shoot myself in the head than to do that job for 40 hours a week for the rest of my life. 85K is NOT ENOUGH to do what nurses do. You know that Shania Twain song "That don't impress me much"? That's pretty much what I think when you say a nurse was making 85K. 9-5?
M-F? That don't impress me much either. Driving in rush hour traffic every day? Going to the store on the weekend when everyone else is there? I HATE the 9-5 M-F. No thanks! I can tell you from experience that any nurse making decent money WORKS THEIR A$$ OFF FOR EVERY PENNY! Last year, when I finally quit, I was making $56 an hour and it wasn't even worth it. Please please please, do not speak of things that you know NOTHING about. Don't even TRY this one with me. I can go on and on about this but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
