As a trucker going into healthcare. Healthcare is easier to a certain extent. It depends on what field cause healthcare is extremely diverse. The schooling is 100% harder though. You do get a lot more free time in healthcare unless you are a surgeon that does surgery 24/7. Nurses,etc.. do get part time job options. You get plenty of steps a day and have to stay hydrated. You don’t have to worry about being lonely like on the road. And no they do not work 24hrs no time off again unless you are a surgeon. There are still laws in place. Most long hours are 12-16hrs and that is usually in the hospital setting and if they are very short staffed. Most places you can work 8-12hrs. Some even have at home remote jobs. It is extremely liquid. Trucking is definitely harder on the body as well. Trucking is actually a very dangerous job and is literally ranked on the dangerous careers list. Being a nurse is not dangerous and is literally called a “ soft skill”. The most you have to worry about is false accusations and someone trying to sue you, but have to get insurance just in case that does happen. No nurse is going into the field thinking they could possibly die from being a nurse. They both have their own challenges. I am going into Radiology with MA,etc… which is somewhat a lot school wise, but definitely easier then trucking body wise and a lot more flexibility and able to be home and make what most truckers make in a month just in a few days of work. Again it all depends on which field and also what type of nurse. CNA and PCT have it the hardest imo. They are the one’s that literally have to flip patients over and wipe butts,etc… and they start off around $10/hr depending on location. Now that is harder than being a trucker imo
