    I work 13 hour days, full of the risk of life and death, assault, cleaning up incontinent people, and massive legal liability. I barely make enough to afford a 1 bedroom apartment with my bachelor’s in my “professional” degree. When I get my master’s, and I get to diagnose conditions and prescribe medications, I’ll get ~10,000 more per year.

      Nursing? We treat nurses and EMTs like crap for hope much they have to deal with. You prior deserve to be treated like the insanely hard working and caring people you are, but in our society the more you care the less they pay you.
