WHat do you fink of male nurses?

[Lamagoodle]

Last time I was at Inova Fairfax, half the nursing stuff were either Filipinos and Ethiopians, who recently arrived in the states.

At least they seemed to genuinely wanted to help you.

In some parts of Europe (salaries are generally higher in western europe than the US), the average salary for a reg nurse is around 50 000 dollars, doctors 80-100 000 dollars.

Most of the enrolled nurses ( under 30 000) are immigrants; the registered nurses are Europeans.

The money is tempting, but you'd have to work with blood, feces, and god knows what other diseases. Not to mention it's a homo career choice for men.

Almost everyone in the health sector who works with patients work with "blood, feces" etc. This is a profession that is dedicated to helping the weakest. Not a dating game saaxib.

What makes males nurses homo? I don't understand that. Are you implying that men in the caring/nursing business are per def gays?

BTW, gamer I am sure you'd be rather the nurse who cleans the mess than the doctor who pushes his hands in the anus to conduct a prostata examination or the OBG There is nothing fancy in handling patients.

Jaale Marx, the information can be found in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2012 data), Salary.com, Glassdoor etc.

See below for info about a job vacancy just to give you an idea

Specializing/getting certified after getting a Masters is where the money is. Also check the history of Nurse Anesthetists in the US in Wikipedia. Nurse with specialty training make big bucks. Fact.

JaalleMarx, nah. I am in the construction business and looking to start sub contracting business soon insha'llah.

As far as Shaqo goes, if I had to work at medical/health sector, it would have to be a pharmacist at ur local friendly CVS store.

And yes, male nurses are Lagama roones, trust me on this.

I had read that. There is still a 40 000 gap . The figures include fringe benefits, social security etc and if I am not mistaken overtime.

The averge salary of a doctor in Sweden is about 130 000 dollars/year. Multiply that with 1,6 ( social security) and other fees/expenses 1,87 and he/she makes on paper (for comparative purposes) around 250 000.

He/she pays a 40-60% tax on the 130 000 and takes home home 6-7 000 dollars/month.

So, the 140 000 medium does not say much

LOL it is lagaroone saaxib. Whether you are in the construction business or not, you will end up in a hospital (mortuary, OP etc). Health care workers= the unsung heroes of our time. When you are 40+ you'd be offered prostata screening ( PSA or hand). If u are a woman something elese. It is the same old dirty story.

Pharmacist? good luck. I would reccommend medicine saaxib. It is a humane profession

Why don't you like nurses?? I hate dentists, I always feel like they are smiling behind the mask while sticking needles in your mouth.

J.Marx. What is the gap that your are talking about? In the US, people go by the gross amount earned. In the job ad, the 15% is a one time recruitment bonus and not part of the salary. Furthermore, one can opt out of benefits such as health insurance and other benefits especially for married couples who do not need to carry 2 separate health insurances. There is also ways of getting around social security, one can opt out and put there money in a Roth Account choosing not to pay into the system.
I don't get the relevance of the comparisons about Sweden unless Zaki lives there and I wrongly assumed he lived in the US.

[GAMES]

Nah, sxb. Not everyone has the brains or the smarts to break it into the medical field. Only person who is going to medical school and has the dedication for 10yrs of schooling is Sulfur.

As long as ur happy and content with ur chosen field, that's all that matters. Don't really care much about being called hero or saving lifes. I don't even like Cirbado (needles).

Niya, you mentioned 180 000 and the statistics you provided gave 140. I get your points. My point is that figures unless put into context say nothing. I took Sweden as an example because there is where I spend most of my time. I

As someone who has insights into this kind of issue, I find it had to swallow the figures (.i.e. a gross salary of 180 000 for a reg nurse excluding overtimes and social security benefits. But, who am I to disagree? I don't reside in Fairfax county.

BTW, the 100 000 - 150 000 in the ad is potential salary (including overtime etc).

If you have the brains to become a pharmacist, you have the brains to train as a doctor saaxib. It is not about brains but sacrifice/ goal oriented. Here in Europe, it takes the same number of years to educate a doctor, an engineer and several other professions ; 5-7 years. Add 2-3 years as AT and you have 10-11 years before you are doctor.

[GAMES]

Well you forgot to mention the staggering Medical school loans that you'd be paying off for half ur life.

Not to mention people here in the U.S love to sue at the drop of a hat and most doctors go bankrupt before retirement.

Nope, I'd pass.

i don't like them because most of them hate their job. i don't respect anybody who chose a profession which is to serve others, to care of the most vulnerable in our society but also hate what they do. they look at patients as numbers and not people who are sick.

most of them..
