Nursing is more of a management type job. And requires ,most places,a masters within a couple of years. Which is mostly management classes.
Open to being sued . So buy malpractice insurance.
Cosmo,work directly on people. If they don't like it,it washes off. Money wise?
I like personal care. Hands on ,not management.

@Applepiedom where did you come up with this? Some nurses do administration, but the majority, in the US, are involved with direct patient care. These days, most do have bachelor level degrees in nursing, it is rare for any to have a master's, although there are now doctoral level degrees.

@Applepiedom there is some paper work. Since the introduction of the electrician nic medical record,ball paperwork has a increased, not decreased. All of us in the health care team do more paper work than before. If you look at an 8 hour shift though, most nurses still spend more time with direct patient contact.

@Applepiedom as in what are you disagreeing with? How do you know? I spent nearly 50 years practicing medicine as a hospital-based physician.
