Yeah, hard pass. Nursing is a hardcore meat grinder, with companies worse than Uber taking advantage of nurses with algorithmic pricing scams, including credit checks to lowball. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/21/healthcare-n... And the real money at all is in RN. There's a reason the LPN is known as "low paid nurse". I'd rather head into the trades than nursing. | ||

> And the real money at all is in RN. When people refer to nurses, they mean RN's, typically. And yes, don't become an LPN or anything less than an RN. | ||

> I'd rather head into the trades than nursing. Honestly they both seem miserable for similar reasons. When a big selling point of a job is “oh you can get a ton of overtime” I lose interest. I don’t care how much money you’re paying me, it comes out to less when you consider hours worked. Interestingly, this seems to be the only reason a lot of jobs are considered “high paying”. | ||
