I think the most underpaid and overworked professionals
are teachers and
accountants.

No one dies if they screw up. They may be overworked and
underpaid, but the
responsibility factor just isn't the same as in health
care.


Teachers, GOOD teachers are more important to our society
than nurses.



Of course. In some cases they get time and a half, or
even double time pay.
But most nurses, excepting those with huge financial
burdens, would rather
have the time off with family.

I would imagine Suzzette spends as much time as possible on
the job.



That said, most jobs have a high-stress
component. Few don't. Add McDonald's lunches, excessive
drinking after
work, and a lack of exercise, and we've got a populace on
the verge of
mental or physical catastrophe, save for one particularly
stressful episode.


Do you work at the post office, Max?

No doubt there are exceptions to every generality. But
the fact remains
that nursing in general is underserved by incoming
personnel, and overserved
by outgoing nurses who just throw in the towel.


My Mother was an RN, she quit that and became a private
nurse. Better pay and easier work.

Nurses have almost traditionally been underpaid.



Bubbles wife is a classic example of that. $70K in NYC is low pay.



Maxi, you are wrong again...and it seems impossible for you to be wrong
so often.
Suzanne makes 50% more than the weekly average in our area. You do know
that 70K is base and she also makes over 800 dollars for a single
shift...which she does 2-3 times per month. Whip out the calculator and
don't forget her 3K bonus, travel pay and so on.
Or to put it better, Suzanne makes the national weekly average in 16
hours. Seems like good starting salary to everyone but you!

New York City is the 12th most expensive city in the world to live in. It is
twice as expensive as the 2nd most city in the US.

If she is only getting 50% higher in a city costs at least twice as much as
any other city, Suzeete needs to get her head examined.

NYC - highest tax burden in the US!

NY state - net population decrease!

"I'm going to increase my pay! I'll take a job that pays 50% more in a place
that costs 100% more to live!"

duh!

I guess that would all matter if we weren't living almost 95% rent
free. We don't even pay for a slip or land storage. The only real
elevated cost we pay is car insurance.

Sorry, Bob. It's not only that you lose again...as much as me
winning...again.


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Taxes? Utilities? Opportunity cost? Over extended lifestyle?

She can do it herself.

That doesn't

make them incompetent as Doctors. They just have different strengths
or areas of expertise. Some plumbers may also have carpentry skills,
and some anesthesiologists may have skills in orthopedics. Critical
care and emergency room nurses tend to be generalists, and are used to
making very quick and correct decisions on life and death matters
under pressure.


Indeed they do...not a job I'd wan't to deal with. Pays pretty good.
High burnout average and turnover. I bet it's high stress if you have
passion towards the people you are treating. Top that off with the
million plus people killed in Hospitals from medical mistakes a career
wrought with stress.

IMO Rob should publish that best seller, or direct a block buster and
provide Suzy with a less stressfull life.

Any magellian GPS will work and show movement.

If you are on anchor or stopped at sea you need someone on watch. No if
and or butts about it.

Weather you are on anchor or tied to a rig someone needs to be awake
and on watch.

No, when you are single handling you better be sure you are anchored,
or tied to a bouy and have a very bright anchor light. Single handling
involves a radar watCh and you sleep with the range alaRm set. Or you
set an alarm that will wake you on a time that will allow you to
prevent collision. In other words set an alarm that will arouse you at
brfore your best speed + the fasetet ship on the sea.. My guess the
other part of the figuring should be a ship at 30 kts. If you are
single handling and sleeping a radar alarm or CPA is needed.
