<p>sanluisfreak–that is a very offensive post and you are in fact, showing your ignorance. I work at a tertiary care independent Children’s Hospital in the northeast. In my clinic I supervise a staff of 13 nurses.
My nursing colleagues and I have degrees from many fine colleges including
Case Western Reserve, Penn, Hopkins, Boston College, Northeastern University and UCSF to name a few. We work as colleagues with our physician peers in caring for very illl children and their families. Our average salary is 120K per year. 6 weeks vacation, no weekends, no holidays. We publish, we speak at national and international meetings about the programs and research we do to help chronically ill children. We are bright, articulate and we do still give direct patient care. Our work is our passion–please do not insult nurses</p>
