Nursing is definetly where the money is at. My Mom is a nurse. She didn't go to school until she was about 33...she is 47 now and makes MEGA bucks as an RN supervisor for the agency on aging. My friend Erin is fresh out of school and works at a nursing home. She only works 2 16 hour days a week (in a row) and she gets paid for 40 hours. She makes like $17.50 an hour but technically it is more because she only works 32 hours. Lucky bitch. I ave almost made up my mind that I am going to start getting my basics out of the way at home on the computer until I put Andon in preschool. Then I am going to nursing school. It isn't my DREAM...my dream is to be an english teacher...but you know how the pay is there! I know I would be a good nurse. I am a compassionate person and I have already worked in one field of medicine with animals for years...surgeries, gore and such. I can hang. Damn, this turned into a little spill all about me didn't it? Haha! Back to you...ever since you said your job was like the dude on ER I have had this pic of you in my head standing at a station, shoveling papers and looking like you are getting something done! ;)
