Nursing is a great field when you're young. You make good money and have the energy for what it takes out of you.
At a certain point, you need to either get more education and move up or just move out before it wrecks your mind and body.

aren't there jobs that require nursing experience that aren't actually nursing? nursing administrators, for instance. i work at a health insurance/PBM company and i know they also employ nurses for clinical oversight or clinical adjacent roles.

i wish i wasn't a retard and had done nursing 10 years ago. it's such easy money and you can become a dnp through online programs and make doctor tier money. it's fucking ridiculous. i think this might soon all unravel though.

the states are probably the only country that pays nurses well

Me too and I absolutely love it. 3 years in as a hospice nurse, should end the year around $140,000 working half from home, half in the field. Sometimes stressful, mostly comfy. First two years was a shitty grind, constantly in the field at all hours, getting up in the middle of the night when people die or families panic. Now, Assistant Director of Nursing, two regular days off a week and have a full time case manager who helps with everything during the week and half a dozen nurses under me who see the patients and report to me so I don't have to. Never get screamed at by doctors, the medical directors are chill and trust us not to order anything stupid or major under their names without checking in with them first. Uh oh, someone died? Well that's what was supposed to happen, big deal. Family changed their mind about letting their loved one die at home? Revoke hospice and go to the hospital, that's your right and I don't give a shit what you do.
Fuck hospitals and their gay regulations, shit pay, fart sniffing doctors, uppity administrators and nurse managers, jab-pushing bullshit and lack of autonomy they allow nurses. Take the hospice pill, bro. Very rewarding, less soul draining than you would think, and pays well if you do it right.

yea and the reason for this is because MBAs control our healthcare system. these MBAs have realized that nurses are cheaper than doctors, so they just hire more nurses and pay them slightly more. And so our nurses can actually prescribe meds and basically act as doctors, but without the additional schooling and residency.

end result = patients get substandard care from roastie nurses, roastie nurses get paid well, MBAs profitmaxxx at their hospitals.

in other countries, nurses are basically used to clean up shit and hand instruments to the doctor.

yes, nurses getting paid is pure capitalism. has nothing to do with training or demeanor or demand or personality. it's all about $$$. as you said, business folks realized they could bill more, faster, and cheaper (labor cost) with a bunch of nurses. then they just relegate doctors to 'supervisors' who sign off on 5,000 things for the nurses they were never involved with. they still have to pay the doctors quite a bit but they are generating way more billing so net net its cheaper to increase billings. the best is doctors are smart enough to realize this and become jaded while nurses think they're having some sort of revolution where patients really love nurses and it's all because they're wholesome or whatever. it's all $$$. nurses are still dumb roasties maybe more than ever

I got work for you in you're in Los Angeles, bro. I'm always hiring and training. If not, I still highly recommend hospice and suggest you give it a shot. I guarantee if you type hospice RN into any job search engine, plenty of jobs will come up and they will take you even if you don't have a huge availability. Staffing is a bitch and the companies will always take what they can get. If you maintain boundaries with them, you can build a caseload of patients you see regularly only 2-3 days a week for a half day or less and make some decent side money while you keep working your wagie hospital job if you want.

Rad tech is good for the amount of schooling they need. Imo

It's like 1 yr of school.
