<p>Technology may put many out of all types of jobs or jobs may be outsourced to other countries. Nursing is a hands on profession and they cant outsource patients, so there will still be jobs here for some time. The above posters both make many valid, interesting points concerning nursing. There is certainly great speculation about nursing, as there is for many other fields. If you are not really passionate about nursing and would rather not risk not being able to find a job, then I would jump ship too. Just make sure the ship you are jumping on has life rafts as well, or you could be in cold water anyway.</p>
