Guys will be insulted.
If you're looking for a job you shouldn't factor in pay. You should do something you love so it does not feel like work. You should try it and find out, if it is not your thing, try something else you're interested in.

I'm a nurse and I'm one of the only people who can actually get a decent paying job right now even if I get fired from the job I have now. I will always have a job making at least $40,000 a year.

It might take a while to work up to the best spot but overall its a good job. Just really long hours and the fact that people underestimate you because your a nurse not a doctor.

Nursing is a very good career and there is a CONSTANT demand for nurses. It is very satisfying to know how much you can help people.
But be prepared to see some pretty gruesome and heartbreaking things such as dying children and horrible car accidents.
Also- the hours can be very long!

My wife is a nurse and she gets a raise everytime she blinks. They are in high demand. I wish my field was the same. I'm in IT and I have a great job and get paid well, but she gets paid more than me. It isn't necessarily an easy job. It's gotta be something you want to do. You're in close proximity w/ patients. You can't be an icky person like myself. You will get a job immediately and not have to go through several interviews like I did when I graduated college. Good luck!

It really depends on who you are as a person. To be a nurse you have to be very strong emotionally and one who truly enjoys helping others. You will have to deal with losing patients, which can be very emotionally draining, as well as clean vomit, change bedpans, rotate obese and incapacitated patients and help them to the bathroom, etc. It is a tough job, but very rewarding if you have the strength and desire to truly help people. As far as availability in the field, the outlook for career opportunities is wide-open, nurses are in high demand right now and they will continue to be, so you have a good chance at snagging a position in the field and it is very reliable, dependable work that will offer great medical benefits. Hope this helps :-)

A nurse is an excellent career. These days there are a great need for good nurses. Nurses are VERY important! Being a nurse is very rewarding and not boring as with each patient, the situation is very different. Not much need to worry about a job, a nurse can almost always find a job. I'd say, go for it! Good luck in whatever you decide.

Nope. *Unless* you truly WANT to be a nurse. That internal drive is what keeps people in that career happy.
Nurses often put up with backbreaking labor, a lack of respect, and often have to deal with questionable working conditions. It is a stressful and often thankless job. You have to truly love people and the nursing model of care.
You will be required to wipe smelly bottoms, clean vomit, wash patients, and reposition obese people. Patients may treat you like a servant, asking you to find their remote control while you have 20 waiting patients all needing care. If you work in patient education, you may have to tell people common sense things (i.e. how to eat healthy) and watch them ignore your advice. You may feel under-challenged and frustrated, *unless* you truly love the nursing model of care. You are not like the MD, who can write a prescription or change the care plan and walk away. As a nurse, your job is to spend your days with that patient, doing most of the hands on care and following doctor's orders. YOU will be changing smelly bandages. YOU will be emptying catheter bags and checking urine for signs of illness and infection, etc. YOU will be responding to screaming patients demanding their PRN (as needed) meds for pain.
Again, unless you truly WANT to be a nurse, and will find it rewarding, nursing is not typically seen as a good career. The pay is decent for the amount of schooling, but you have to WANT to be a nurse.
Those who go into nursing thinking they will make easy money and have a "guaranteed job" will likely burn out, be miserable, hate their job, and leave soon after starting.
Nursing *can* be a good career, but only if that's the career that you want to do.
EMT can be fun and challenging (you'll see things you'll never see elsewhere and get amazing experience), but you'll be more limited in your final career choices unless you get further education. The pay is also *typically* much less, although Advanced Care Paramedics can make a decent wage. You'll get to practice advanced medical skills and will not have to do "basic" patient care (wiping, washing, toileting, etc.) like nurses often do. You'll also work in very challenging conditions, like having to stablize a patient after an accident.
Talk to a career counselor and job shadow both jobs if you are not sure which is best for you. There are many allied health careers (Respiratory Therapist, Nuclear Medicine Technologist, Pharmacist, etc.) that you may want to explore as well. If you have the grades, ability, time, desire, and money, you could look into becoming an MD as well.
Good luck!
