    and nurses do not have hour restrictions set on them. my niece can AND HAS had to stay at the hospital during snow storms. it is not uncommon for her to stay at the hospital for several days in a row.

    truckers work up to 70 hours, and need a reset, to earn what....$50,000 a year?

    any nurse can wipe that out in 4 to 6 months with ease.

    Yes, keep the CDL valid. Do this by keeping you DOT physical up to date and registering it online so it's always on file.

    My wife is a retired nurse and she gives the same advice to every prospective nurse.

    Go be an LPN for a while, at least while getting your RN.

    And for her the best money was always doing agency work. Next best was home health. Any facility around here pays crap. Probably not true in urban areas.

    Just do your job COMPLETELY. That's pretty much all it takes to stand out around here.

    My daughter is an RN. The money is good, but it's backbreaking work.
