    Another Chance at Life - Nurse's Job

    Send us a text How Much Can I Make? with Mirav Ozeri Another Chance at Life - Nurse In this episode Mirav talks with Jessica Wilson, a practicing nurse for the last 20 years. Nursing is an applied science. It requires you to put medical knowledge in practice and use quick thinking in situations that can be the difference between life and death. Like many positions in the medical field, it requires formal training and on-the-job experience. Depending on the environment–a hospital, a private practice, or even as a traveling nurse–nursing can take on many different forms and specializations. Jessica tells Mirav about her experiences working in both birthing centers and the ICU. Her responsibilities range from admitting and assessing patients to administering life saving treatments. For her, nursing has offered a lifestyle with competitive pay and a flexible schedule. While it is challenging to see patients going through difficult experiences, the work is also rewarding: she gets to see people become healthier and recover to have a second chance at life. Topics 00:41 Introduction 01:08 What made you become a nurse? 05:08 Nursing in the delivery room 06:52 Nursing in the ICU 07:44 Potential for earnings 10:32 Pathway into nursing 12:43 Travel nursing 13:16 Challenges 14:13 A story of success 17:29 Handling the toll the job takes 23:55 Do you love your job?
