You've probably heard that there is a shortage of nurses. I've heard that too.  It can be tough in many instances to be a nurse. You may have to put up with long hours on your feet, grumpy patients and angry doctors or families. However, it is a noble profession that attempts to serve humanity.  To be a nurse certainly has it's attributes.

You can also visit different places around the world on a traveling nurse program.  There will probably always be a shortage of good nurses. It isn't for everyone. But the rewards are good, both monetarily and in the sense that you may receive from helping others.   However, you May NOT receive the kind of thanks that you might expect directly from patients and their families. 

It is a high principle to serve others.
