Enough Enoughby FedupRN (no login)I have been a nurse for many years and I am a 1st year pod student. Depite what u read here most nurses average about 40-50k per year. Yes there are jobs that pay in excess of $50/hr but most nurses who take these positions only stay for about 6mos (these are extremely difficult position with a very high burn out rate-hence the increased salary). The nursing profession is difficult with zero respect. I hear DPMs complain about clipping toenails; BIG DEAL! Try disimpacting someones fecal blockage with your hand or changing stinking colostomy bags. At 11pm when your shift is over and u have no relief geuss what the state says u must stay and work another shift untill relief arrives if u don't u lose your nursing license. Life of a nurse: Come to work take your assingment of 30 patients (all med surg) no cnas show up so you have to perform total patient care plus administer meds plus perform treatments plus a sh@t load of paper work plus deal with family memebers stating " why is mom covered in urine" plus someone has just called DFS and they want to know why you are short staffed plus the medical director walks in the door demanding assistance with his patients plus Mrs Smith down the hall is having an acute MI plus plus plus plus....
