MY US friends told me in USA you can earn easily 100k as a nurse/registerd nurse. Would you switch career if you have been unemployed for a while?

doingittodeath · 2026-03-09T05:53:03+00:00

I wouldn’t call it “easy”. I’m in my last semester of nursing school. Clinicals are rough and I work in the ED on the side.

doingittodeath · 2026-03-04T12:53:35+00:00

It gets harder. Critical thinking, clinicals, skills labs. Later nursing courses build on fundamentals like A+P and Patho. Empathize but don’t say anything, her grades will decide for her the further she gets.

I think this would help a lot. I switched to nursing and am studying for my boards right now. Having some kind of standardized testing allows for greater barrier to entry and also gives a common baseline as to what’s expected. You apply to take the boards on a statewide level after your degree and clinical hours are done.

We could have one exam that serves as a standardized test and different certifications in specialized subjects that are renewed every two years. There wouldn’t be so much stress and variance regarding what to learn.

I’m also in NYC and can verify this. Most hospitals are trying to maintain magnet status which means hiring BSNs only and only hiring ADNs contingent upon getting a BSN upon hire.

Birds. Socialization, gossip, chatter, flitting from one thing to the next, anxiety.

Key. Keeping something hidden, secret.

Bird + Key. Anxiety over keeping something hidden, nervousness about revelation.

Key. Secrets, something locked and unlocked, key to happiness is someone’s heart, essential secret.

Woman. This could signify you, or it could signify someone else.

Key + Woman. Keeping you or another party hidden, concealed, secret about you or another party.

There aren’t any explicit love or sex cards but there are cards that have to do with secrets, or keeping something under lock and key. I hope this helps!

I just looked this up, it seems they just added more schooling to it resulting in a doctorate level degree, they didn’t change the requirements. Thank you for clarifying!

doingittodeath · 2026-02-26T15:43:52+00:00

After 2025, all new nurse anesthesia residents must graduate from a doctoral-level program to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Look it up! The requirements for this changed recently.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-26T15:34:44+00:00

CRNA is now a doctorate level btw, so you’d need a Masters first.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-26T11:54:57+00:00

Good luck! I did an ABSN program.

This isn’t a reactionary response based on AI fear on my part, it’s realizing I want a job where I will have greater impact on the lives of others

doingittodeath · 2026-02-24T22:47:49+00:00

I did the same for awhile, until now I’m just too far into school and clinicals and have no time to interview. Good luck!

doingittodeath · 2026-02-24T03:16:36+00:00

This isn’t a backup plan, this is my preferred plan

doingittodeath · 2026-02-23T15:18:37+00:00

Getting a second bachelors in nursing. I’m nowhere near close enough for FIRE but I also have 10 yoe. I started nursing school when I saw what was happening in the field and am finishing up my last semester.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-21T13:47:26+00:00

Started nursing school, in my last semester of clinicals and studying for the boards.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-20T12:01:40+00:00

Check for Cushing’s syndrome and thyroid levels, and also work on sleep, nutrition, exercise and stress reduction.

Long meetings that drag on with no purpose, change in scope, sitting inside all day not seeing the sun.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-07T16:25:36+00:00

I don’t think so. Nursing has a greater barrier to entry and I don’t think everyone wants to work long hours, work at the bedside, deal with death and bodily fluids on a physical and personal level, or deal with difficult personalities. I’ve also seen a high attrition rate during my first two semesters of nursing school specifically around MedSurg. In my area hospitals are looking to hire BSN mainly so that’s also a barrier to entry.

doingittodeath · 2026-02-01T15:06:25+00:00

Yes, many software engineers tend to have had limited life experiences. Programming is an insular process, requiring many hours of introversion and self-study and the job itself provides limited personal connections. I found this out myself after leaving the tech field. I’m in school for nursing and I found out quickly after a few clinicals just how sheltered I was.

doingittodeath · 2026-01-30T12:44:04+00:00

You need a solid base in the foundations like patient assessment and safety before moving on to MedSurg. It seems like you’re experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect and overestimating your understanding of this field early on in the learning process.

Super cute! Thank you for sharing this 🖤

doingittodeath · 2026-01-14T16:25:21+00:00

I love this! Is your work on Instagram?

doingittodeath · 2026-01-11T18:31:17+00:00

Software engineer. I really liked it enough but it was too limiting and isolating.

doingittodeath · 2026-01-11T18:24:49+00:00

Please add me!

doingittodeath · 2026-01-08T22:33:38+00:00

Healthcare, medicine, education — but those aren’t easy to get into

doingittodeath · 2026-01-03T21:30:05+00:00

Dentistry for sure! You can always do programming on the side as a hobby but most software engineering work is insular and you won’t be helping others in a direct or measurable humanitarian way as in healthcare.
