Is becoming an RN worth it?

I'm thinking about going to nursing school this fall. They make a lot of money after graduating, easily get hired and can basically get hired in any location I want. How much work will I have to do for two years, until I get my associates degree?

Guess that depends on your definition of "a lot"

Sure, If you can steal an MD from his wife.. wait, you're a chick, right?

I don't know if being an RN is worth it. Being an NP or PA is DEFINITELY worth it

Reading these replies is disheartening, sorry for all the a-hole replies. But yeah you can definitely get in and out of nursing school pretty quick and make good money straight away. Don't let any of these cynics put you down for following whatever gay dreams you have.

Yes it's worth it. There is a lot more opportunity in nursing than people realize. I'm in sales now, make good money, and have very flexible hours.

If you do it go the Nurse Practitioner or Anesthetist route.

If you go to nursing school you better make a plan to either go straight for your BSN....or plan on going back to school to get your BSN online or something while working full time as a nurse.
Many hospitals nationwide are going towards only hiring BSN nurses and making their current RNs obtain their BSN before a certain timeframe.

Sure if you like repetitive shift work. The nurses @ my hospital bitch and complain more than teachers about their jobs.

A lot of hospitals that pay big bucks for nurses require that they get their BS degrees. Two year program may not get what you want.

Wife is an NP. Definitely worth it. RN not so much today.

I am an RN who has had the opportunity work in many different areas of healthcare over my career. I parlayed all that knowledge into a medical IT software sales position and now make completely stupid money...go for it. You never know where it might lead you....

The real question for me is whether it's worth paying for my SO to get her RN License when she already has her LPN and makes decent money?
Probably will quit working in about 5 years or so anyways for kids so that tells me probably not, she might go back to work once kids are grown depending on how business is going but I doubt it

All bullshite a side nursing is one hell of a hard profession and I give props to anyone in that field. Easter weekend I got to experience helping my 80 year old uncle go to the bathroom because his live in nurse couldn't do it by herself. Never mind the mental scaring I will endure from seeing my dads brother's nurse having to tuck his junk into the toilet so he didn't pee on his pants and the smell once he did his Business( I left during the clean up). The fact that she was crying when we were saying goodbye and helping her get him into his ride tells me that personal care nurses have a shitty job. There comes a time when you have been taking care of someone that you develop a bond and can't help but feeling sad when they pass.
