djv said:I wont go near the Nurse area for my wife is a RN in a specialty field. Pay is not wild but i would say close to fair. Funny thing is her schooling for what she does took 6 years. The two Doc's she works with are 8 and 9 years grads. She makes about 1/4 of what they do. But does 75% of what they do with patients. She does more then 75% of what they do in the education part of working with the patients. But women seem to get the short end of the stick many times. At least thats what they claim. Maybe there right. My wife loves what she does so much that she never complains. Even when fighting cancer her self she never felt sorry for herself or complained. I believe she is worth at least another 15%. But then the playing field might get to close to those Doc's.
For those of you who have not been around to many Docs. First they like the word god because many thing they are. Next they dont like to be questioned because they never are wrong. And they can prove that. Ask them.
But I like Doc's idea about those grape and apple pickers. Thats about where were headed. Burger flippers and walmart. Doc we need some real jobs. And for not enough nurses. Pay them the shortage would go away.
lmao...i get scutted by nurses where i am at....and if i don't do what they say, my life becomes hell....
docs require 12-13 YEARS post high school....not 8....nurses require 4-6....nurses make 50-80 grand easily....and don't have to go through the hell of med school and residency....and dont have their asses on the line day in adn day out....and maybe take care of 2-4 patients while docs have 15-20 on most services...
so get your facts and numbers straight...
not all doctors have a God complex...some do but so do people in other professions....and if you saved lives day in and day out, you would probably develop a God complex yourself....
cherry i don't know what the hell you are saying and certainly don't see anything to do with racism in my statement...put the book down and get in the real world dude
