nursing, bad example. but a while ago it was getting so bad with the shortages, there still is and still bad. but they can go the travelling nursing route which is more lucrative and payout is more massive than a standard hospital. they make way more if not as much as some MDs. Hosptials/networks thought they can enshittfy by staffing less, but they realized more patients were getting maimed, died due to neglect. and they are apparently paying out the ass in underserved areas just to attract nurses back.
not so for MDs, apparently many insurance, or hospitals are forcing them go through more patients per hour/day then before.
Yes! Nursing really is having a resurgence. Pay is keeping up with cost of living in my area and travel contracts show promising wages in the areas I’m going next. Much better than it was 2019-2023. Those were some PTSD inducing years.
travelling nurses specifically have more flexibility with thier jobs so to speak, if one hospital is shitty, you can just go to another city/reigion. although covid has made nursing quit in hospitals, havnt heard so much on the other option.
Physicians have a lot of problems preventing us from demanding our worth because we can't collectively bargain like nurses can. I wish I'd gone the other route but I think if I had I would have regretted it too.
if you can tolerate patients, thier excretions, thier attitude nursing is for you, or hours. nurses do get shit from MDs they are working under, once while i waiting at an ENT waiting room, the ENT i was seeing went off on a poor nurse, CNA? for apparently making me only do a phone call with him and wasting his time by going in person(if he indicated first lol, how was i suppose ot know that) then i realize he was just a very jaded MD lazy.(thats when his attitude change towards me very passive aggressive.
I really want to respond to this with a real comment that comes from a place of passion and honesty but I can't if you type like that. Sorry, can't take you seriously.
