Believing that noone can do better than you have done in your field is so narrow minded and it just goes to show that some people are so disillusion into thinking that you are all that. You obviously are looking at a nurse in the only traditional way of taking care of patients on a daily, but i see beyond that..maybe you just dont get the concept of how far you can take you nursing degree.
Grow up and better still maybe look into how to do better in your field...stop having a complex...telling other they cant achieve better.
End of story........
I try to be very realistic and u telling someone that as an LPN/RN, they will be making $220,000/yr is ridiculous and very naive on your part. I don't know who it is that you know that is an RN and makes $220,000/yr. probably none. But if there is, they are probably doing something suspicious on the side.
Like it told ya, quit giving folks false hopes and info. As an RN in the US, you will have a very decent middle class lifestyle and not the kind of life that you are trying to portray.
I have actually spoken to a few nursing recruiters just to make sure that i was pretty sure about what i was talking about and they think whoever was making the argument about an RN making $220 grand/yr no matter how much they work in a wk must be hallucinating.
This is what you said " The wife usually studies for about 1-2 years to be a Nurse, depending on how hard she works after getting her certificate she can earn as much as 3,000-5,000 per week (yes you are right per week)"
1-2 yrs of Nursing classes here would get ya to LPN level which i don't see any LPN even making $80,000 a yr regardless of how hard he/she works.
U could argue that An Associates degree in Nursing is 2 yrs but it does take a yr of prereq's before you can get into any nursin progam which is a total of 3 yrs if you don't flunk out that is.
This another comment from ya " You obviously are looking at a nurse in the only traditional way of taking care of patients on a daily, but i see beyond that..". This is exactly what i was arguing about. U just went you there and said that anyone as an RN would be making $220 grand/ yr without explaining to them that a masters or even a Ph.d degree might be required to be able to make that much.
Get your facts straight before you put it out there.
