There is an expression in nursing; "we eat our young"! And we do, as I said "no support" as it always felt like "us" against "them" when I started out. If we wish to stop the nursing crisis, we need to be supportive of each other and make this wonderful profession successful again. It's up to us and the employers we work for to get together and be real and honest with ourselves.
In many cases they start out making less than starting sanitation workers, despite the fact they work 300 hours/year more than the average full-time worker, almost all their time is spent 100% engaged in work, and that the stress-level is so high today you can almost cut it with a knife. Teachers today are taught how to stand during disputes with students so we present the smallest possible gun target. And many of us have had to employ that learning.
Despite the pension benefits, the VERY Conservative Forbes magazine rating teaching as the 3rd lowest paying profession requiring a college degree.
And now, with the far-right's chants of down-with-the-union, people want to cheat the teachers of what's effectively delayed pay in their retirement pensions. With that attitude, I'd advise every young person to avoid a career in teaching: America will screw you if possible out of fair compensation.
