I'm considering getting a degree in nursing... what are some pros and cons of a career as a nurse?

We Answered:

It all depends on where you work.
I can honestly say that I like my job as a labour and delivery nurse, but it has it's ups and downs.
the doctors have a superiority complex at times and try to talk down to you or do not listen to what you have to say.
The patients can either be wonderful or give you a lot of grief.
It's long shifts (12 hours) where sometimes you don't even have time to use the bathroom let alone have something to eat.
The pay is not the greatest everywhere (in Canada it's $23 to start).
You can kiss your long weekends and Christmas holidays good bye beause a hospital is never closed! Especially when your a new grad, until you build up some senority, your the one who will always get the shifts that no one else wants!

It can be up and down, one minute you HATE your job, the next minute you love it.

But at the end of the day I'm helping bring new lives into the world. I am making a difference in somebody's life, helping them to get through labour. The other nurses I work with are supportive, fun and help you get through the tough times at work.

For me I wouldn't work anywhere else, I am on maternity leave right now and I miss it. But I will be only going back part time because this is a stressful job to have when your trying to raise a family. To me the shift work makes it impossible to find daycare for my little one, but at the same token lots of people manage. Also with shift work it's more flexible because you can work nights and weekends while your significant other is home, and your home with the little one during the week days.

Hope this helps a bit and good luck in whatever you choose!

Is it ok for a man to have a career as a nurse?

We Answered:

You've highlighted the main issues here. At the enrollment interview simply state "I am not embarrassed about looking like a homosexual and I truly believe I will score more chicks as a direct result of this career decision". The job is yours.

Mitochondria are the "power houses" of animal cells. Understanding their functions and diseases can be very valuable information in the health field. Chloroplasts may be less applicable, but may have some potential in alternative medicines.
