首先护士学起来不容易，竞争很大的。毕业出来找工作也没想象的容易，除非完全不在乎收入，随便一个养老院就可以干的。 再者，做护士需要pay attention to detail，每天重复同样的工作，要跟肥胖病人打交道（虽然有护工，但是人手不够，还得护士自己来），要跟病人家属打交道，要跟医生打交道，压力是有点大的。而且责任也很大的，一个人照顾好几个病人，很多地方缩减开支，护士非常忙。 但是，护士属于挣资历的工作，只要在一个地方干久了，有了资历，好的工作岗位就能轮到自己了。年轻护士的turn over 率是挺高的。
弯曲才毕业的RN已经75美金一个小时了, 疫情以后，很多医院已经是加班给双倍工资了，一个小时不就是150美金了. 正常全职一年2000个小时，就是十五万美金，加1000个小时班，一年就三十万美金了。这只是刚刚毕业的RN. 工作二十年的，一个小时100多美金, 不加班就二十多万美金了. 很多弯曲RN都是一份全职，其他医院再做一份兼职，一年三四十万美金。 Kaiser 刚刚结束罢工，四年保证涨21%. 2026年十月才毕业的RN会90美金一个小时, 不加班一年十八万美金。 工会这样继续涨价下去，以后一年不加班二三十万美金，一点不奇怪，而且不容易被AI取代。 The tentative agreement also provides guaranteed across-the-board wage increases totaling 21% over four years. The raises break down to 6% in October 2023, 5% in October 2024, 5% in October 2025, 5% in October 2026, according to the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. It represents the largest raise package in the history of the Kaiser Labor/management partnership, the union organization said in a statement. The deal also includes a $1,500 ratification bonus for all workers, the union said. The agreement, as proposed, also enhances employees’ performance sharing program plan (PSP) with minimum payout opportunities and a substantial maximum payout opportunity. And, the deal increases investments in professional development and job training, and includes other initiatives to help address the staffing crisis in healthcare, according to a joint statement. According to the union, workers'' 2023 PSP, to be paid out in March 2024, will have a guaranteed minimum of $1,500 (pro-rated for part time) with potentially more based on goals. PSP payouts going forward were negotiated as follows: Kaiser fails to meet financial goals, members will be paid $300 per each labor goal met (up to $1,200 for four labor goals); if Kaiser meets financial goals, members will be paid $700 per each labor goal met (total potential payout of $2,800) and if Kaiser strongly exceeds financial goals, members will be paid $950 per each labor goal met (total potential payout of $3,750). https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/providers/largest-healthcare-worker-strike-us-history-scheduled-begin-wednesday-across-kaiser

回复 1楼Naku的帖子 The nurses in the States do a lot, all the dirty and hard work and some experienced nurses are almost like doctor. Very demanding job but nurses are in high demand especially male nurses, there's a lot of job security. There will even be more demand due to the aging population. Nowadays many nurses are even imported from the Philippines or other places abroad. Pay can be high for traveling nurses.
我有个朋友，50岁转行RN，咱中国来的学霸真厉害，完全不相关专业转的。现在干半年玩半年，想去哪里住就当地找个工作，而且只去小诊所不去大医院，这样不需要夜班。工作就是想找立刻有，她说不忙也不累。
大家觉得这个职业怎么样？
再者，做护士需要pay attention to detail，每天重复同样的工作，要跟肥胖病人打交道（虽然有护工，但是人手不够，还得护士自己来），要跟病人家属打交道，要跟医生打交道，压力是有点大的。而且责任也很大的，一个人照顾好几个病人，很多地方缩减开支，护士非常忙。
但是，护士属于挣资历的工作，只要在一个地方干久了，有了资历，好的工作岗位就能轮到自己了。年轻护士的turn over 率是挺高的。
我认识一个老头，82岁，律师，现在还part time practice。我都惊呆了。
我刚回来，回国玩在高铁上碰到一老头，精神矍铄，78周岁多了，去江西上饶那里帮侄子打工，就是看看门，管吃住，一个月3000人民币。
正常全职一年2000个小时，就是十五万美金，加1000个小时班，一年就三十万美金了。这只是刚刚毕业的RN.
工作二十年的，一个小时100多美金, 不加班就二十多万美金了.
很多弯曲RN都是一份全职，其他医院再做一份兼职，一年三四十万美金。
Kaiser 刚刚结束罢工，四年保证涨21%. 2026年十月才毕业的RN会90美金一个小时, 不加班一年十八万美金。
工会这样继续涨价下去，以后一年不加班二三十万美金，一点不奇怪，而且不容易被AI取代。

所以医疗帐单只会越来越贵？
我也想过去考个LVN干护士。LVN读下来要一年多，不过可能要补很多生物化学课，实际上要2到3年。但是会不会没有注册护士R N那么辛苦? 我看诊所里打疫苗和量血压体重的都是LVN. 当然赚钱也没有R N多就是了。
护士工资这么高，还学什么CS, 当个护士多好，看来该卷护士了？
为了生存吧
呃，你们难道就没那种：人就这一辈子，不得各种不一样的生活试试呀。
医疗账单里护士占的比例怕是零头吧。

给胖子洗澡属于护工CNA的工作。护士分派给护工做就好了。
这个想法不错
