The ups and downs of nursing?

first off almost any job any one gets no matter how glamorous it seems will get burn out eventually, unless your are a rock star or something. Second, nurses only have to go to school for two years and start out at 40- 50 k a year. That is a lot better then what the avg person makes. Third, people become nurses because they have always wanted to make a Impact on some ones life directly. Its easy to donate money and feel better but knowing that you helped some one directly is way more rewarding. Nurses get great benefits too, like amazing health insurance,401 k, and great retirement. Nurses no matter how rough it may seem in the economy they are they ones who will always know that they will have a job because all hospitals are always short of good nurses. Nursing is also great because some people love to interact with different people every day and have new experiences. Also, the people who watch tv shows about nursing are the ones who get burnt out on it in the long run and decide to quit. Being on call is rough all the time, but if you think about it so are cops,doctors,engineers if something goes wrong,supreme court judges, military personal and many others its not just nurses that are always on call. Its people like nurses and cops and people that is always on call that are the back bone of society and they are always on call so that we can sleep at night. Finally nurses do not get abused, maybe she just works at a crappy hospital. Most people thank nurses for the care that they give them and are highly respected in the medical field. So in the end people become nurses because they want to help people and are dedicated at what they do.
