Graduated as a nurse but couldn't do the work - any advice on career change eg. becoming a medical writer?

We Answered:

doctors offices would be a good place if you dont mind that work or how about taking your nursing degree and furthering it to a masters and then you can do more nurse manager type jobs or maybe even go into teaching with the degree.
there are different levels to the nursing degree and there are so many things you can do with it. It would be such a shame to just let it go to waste after all the hard work you put into it.
I am sorry you found being an RN not for you - we need good nurses. I know though because I am an RN that it is a very high stress job,but also very rewarding at the same time,but it is not the job for everyone

I want to become a writer?

We Answered:

if you are awriter you should be good with words...so you could get just about anything you want....there is simple work for good money...like working in a call centre for a charity the going rate is about $17 an hour + comission...or you could work as a carer support person for respite this is also about $19-$24 an hour.....I worked for a nurseing agency as a A.I.N and I only had 6 weeks of training I was on $20 an hour and I was only 17......or you could get a shop assistents job like in a bakery or in a clothes stall....but these aren't well paying..good luck.

I love to write but should that be my career?

We Answered:

There are writing gigs out there but you will have to do some research out there to find them. There are various technical writing jobs. You seem to have an interest in medical stuff. There may be freelance gigs available for people to write about medical subjects.

With all the blogs and Web sites out there, it seems to me that there would be a market for content. I don't really have any experience writing for money, but my experience tells me that initiative and enterprise will carry the day. You may well have to create your own job and you might want to research how to do that. I do know that making a living doing something you like is a good place to be. It sounds like you are a young person so now is the time to explore your options.

Vernon Said:

Do women get paid less than men in medical jobs? Why?

We Answered:

No, that is a lie. Mark Twain once said "There are three kinds of lies; lies, damn lies and statistics". The reason it seems statistically that women make less than men in certain jobs is because everything is averaged out throughout the entire field instead of looking at it in its respective categories.

There are three things which tend to set the amount of pay a person receives in a job from the amount another person receives.

1) Seniority. If a person has been in a job longer than another person, then even if they might hold the same job title they tend to get paid more.

2) More hours worked during a pay period. If a person works for example 40 hours a week and another person works 28 hours a week, then the person working 40 hours a week would usually get paid more.

3) The company they work for. Not all companies pay the same for the same job, so if you work for a company that pays less for that job you will be making less for the same work someone in another company might be making.

So if there were an even number of men and women working in the medical field, then on the average the men would be paid more if they had more seniority, worked more hours, or more of them worked at companies which paid more for that job. Then you need to consider that more men might also work in the medical field than women, which would push the average amount they get paid up higher. If more of them also hold positions of a higher ranking in that field than women do, then naturally they would get paid more (usually) and that again would make the average go up.

This is what is happening to make it seem that men are making more women in the medical, and statistically they would be even if they are making the same amount for the same job with the same company as the woman is. So that is how that statistic lies. The statistic is general in what it speaks to, but when specifics are factored in then it becomes something entirely different.
