Also a traveling nurse or med tech makes even more money with all expenses paid for, would be a good job for someone young with no attachments.  |
Hands-on nursing is tough, and most nurses get sick of the hospital after a while. I work in a health insurance company, and there are lots of nurses. Nurses can work in office settings using their clinical knowledge. I know of several people who have obtained Bachelor's degrees in Health Administration, and want an RN license to supplement because the clinical aspect makes you so much more marketable.
