re: If nurses across the US simply got paid more then we wouldn’t have a nursing shortage

Would you say travel nursing is the way to go, or NP, if one is in it for the money?

so it's apples and oranges sort of

First off, I don't think nurses should be able to take travel assignments without at least 5 years experience.

Second, if you're looking into nursing for the money- then please don't pick nursing. If your heart is to serve and help sick ppl then by all means- choose nursing and advance your degree as far as you'd like.

In terms of travel vs NP, that is not as commonly compared as say NP vs CRNA.

for me- considering the NP vs CRNA route would come down to 'do I like awake patients or sleeping ones"
