Rosie my boy, what makes you think nursing is a womans field of work? professional nursing has only been around about 100 years. Who do you think took care of patients before that? Have you read any ancient medical texts (Greek or Almoravid/Almohad)? If you did you would know that many many caregivers were MEN. Dating as far back the times of the gemara (and even further). Or did you think that only women took care of the sick men. In actuality, there were mens hospitals and womens hospitals.
Health, you couldn’t be more wrong on the state of the nursing profession, and your limited grasp of the general allied health field is suprising since you have suggested that you are a physician of some sort. The.Nurse is correct. There are almost no nursing positions available in the greater New York area. Nursing home expereience is actually frowned upon by hospital administrators. While the overall field is good, at this time and in the NY area there are almost no jobs to be had. Its a simple supply and demand equation. Large supply + little demand = no hiring. I am sure it will change at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
