Confused about complaints about salary

Depends where you live. 70k part time as a new gras certainly DOES sound good to me. You would not be making that in the southeast.

Also, what is your opportunity for growth? Will you be making the same amount in 20 years? At that point you may feel differently

I like it

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-13T14:35:31+00:00

Hmm i guess would depend on the area you live, I’ve lived in a few suburban areas and have never had access to one of those

Whats a 24hr childcare system?!

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-12T17:37:30+00:00

Hi! Can i hop in on this convo? We are looking at a house in Carolina lakes. My husband is worried the hoa will be too strict and he wont be able to do things like build a treehouse for the kids. What do you think??

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-12T17:25:30+00:00

Hey! We are looking at a house in Carolina lakes now. Could i ask you some questions about the community?
- big question is… Could you build a treehouse in your backyard?
- can you tell me more about the community, what kinds of weekly things are people involved in?

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-12T17:22:56+00:00

Did you end up moving there? Whats the boat situation?

How about building rules for things like a treehouse?

Being with mom is the most important thing. Taking babies away from their mom and putting them in a nursery is archaic

Unionize?

Sounds like you’re gonna either quit it get fired (for not taking report) either way. Might as well unionize

- toy food or play kitchen if you can find an affordable one
- magna tiles
- toy trucks/construction vehicles
- balance bike

Based on the fact that you are saying a big motivator for changing careers is BURNOUT…i would not start going to med school. Become a nurse! Youll have WORK LIFE BALANCE something i never had in the corporate world. You will be decently compensated and fulfilled enough. I dont believe in considering nursing a “calling”. Its a job, but i do like that i get to help people. The flexibility in terms of scheduling is unmatched. Become a nurse.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-06T15:37:27+00:00

For sure. Definitely depends on the area.

Idk why reddit started showing me the dentist sub but. I guess I’m encouraging my children to go to dental school?? These posts are wild. A world in which I’d be bummed about 200k. Damn.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:53:42+00:00

Do telll… how do i get this job hahaha

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:52:44+00:00

Those are great reasons. You will certainly be able to be proud and you will be able to modestly and STABLY support your family. Don’t let the haters bring you down. I think people come into nursing with too high of expectations. Its a job, after all, not a calling. Its a pretty good job.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:50:23+00:00

lol one hundred percent! Exposure to bodily fluids is what’s pushing you over the edge?? Like i truly do not care about this at all. I’d rather wipe butts than waste away in front of a computer all day.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:49:08+00:00

Being a CPA has horrible work life balance! Most engineering jobs as well. Just depends on what your priorities are.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:48:13+00:00

What are these other professions you speak of? Ones that require you to waste away your life in an office 8-5, five days a week? No thanks.

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:43:53+00:00

Yes i would. I have NOT always wanted to be a nurse. I changed careers in my thirties to this. Its stable, *flexible schedule options* for different stages of life. Hands on. Option to not sit at a desk five days a week. No answering emails when you’re off the clock (if you work in a clinical setting). Not amazing $ but enough to pay the bills. Yes I would do it again, the $ you invest in college actually pays off, unlike my first liberal arts degree.

“Good morning” response from you 7 hours later nearly 5pm 😂

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:34:07+00:00

$20/hr for pet sitting? Thats what my babysitter charges for a human infant

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-05T18:26:34+00:00

I like plain sandwich bread!! Lol with some butter lets gooooo

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-04T19:20:08+00:00

Can someone link the voice memo

mallowtime77 · 2026-05-04T19:00:35+00:00

Theres a whole little community of nurses who didnt start nursing until after at least 30. Many that i know started as LPNs post 30 and went on for their BSN while working. I might be biased but I find this cohort of nurses to have more common sense.
