You will probably find and keep a job easily but the workload and stress can get pretty bad. It doesn’t pay great but if you go that path then I’d still try to safe some money in case you get burnt out and need a career switch.

a very respectable career. undervalued tbh

Very cool. My mom is a nurse and she rocks.

Have considered it as a career for myself as well, but I don't think it would be a good fit.

I like it! There's a lot of variation, you don't have to do just bedside nursing. Public health can be really nice. There's even nursing research, we have our own scholarly journals and everything.

Also, I really enjoyed maternity even though I was super apprehensive about it going in for gender reasons (you get to do a little taste of a lot of different areas). Oncology was cool, very interesting disease processes and a lot of new treatments being developed super recently - the deaths are hard, but it's part of any area and family feel more accepting.

I work in pediatrics right now, and it's good! I only had one family be shitty about me being trans, but on the other hand I've had one trans child which was really special. Kids generally bounce back fairly quickly, they also decompensate quite fast but usually you only see them when they're already bad in the hospital. You also get the parents (usually only mom...) as a secret weapon who's always watching and ensuring the patient actually follows the rules and orders lol
