I think one of the biggest things is that it wouldn't be an issue if so many of them had characteristics that were the antithesis of what nurses are suppose to be.
Let's be 100 a lot of the female nurses we know personally, if we were all honest we would admit they don't have qualities of nurses are suppose to be like(or were originally suppose to be like)
I have also said that a lot of us black folks particularly our parents in each generation can be stupid as fukk and are still ....STILL missing the boat on the engineering field. We still seem to think nursing and law is the answer for everything. I remember watching a newsstation and they gave the answer to the question "WHICH OF the following are the highest paying majors" they asked before the break....and my mother went with "nursing/health" in an arrogant/loud way like most sheep would do....and then like I said...the answer out of the choices turned out to be engineering.....oh gee what a surprise
Matter a fact I know there are different branches of engineering....but I guarantee if you were an engineer, and your girl was a RN who is introducing you to her parents, they may ssume she makes more.
I think a lot of people in the nursing field/med school field now will be in for a surprise. Yeah its high paying. But I think a lot of people are gonna be in for a surprise for all the overestimating they did.
Just going into it because "they heard" it pays a lot....god damn. Like you said its good to be in the field but I wish we would be more diverse.
