Nurses are being laid off right now also - sm

For the most part, you'll always have work as a nurse, but even right now during COVID nurses are being laid off. I was nurse and I'm now an MT and have been for over a decade. Nursing is hard. You will sacrifice a lot and not get much in return. You will have grumpy doctors and patients. Some days will be rewarding, but most aren't. You will find yourself tied to the computer documenting every little thing and less time spent with your patients. It's just how things are now. It wasn't always this way. If you can get into a specialty area then there may be less stress, but that just depends on the people you work with. I'm sorry to sound like a Debbie Downer. If you get a chance to ask people you know who are nurses how they really like their jobs then please do. I know so many nurses who are miserable. There are a few who still love it, but they have moved into the cushy positions now and have easier jobs.
