I was just thinking RN ->NP is a good path.
I know nurses that went back to school to become nurse practitioner. While working as nurse. And work paid for degree.

Yes. New York state grants can help pay for your 3 year RN bachelors degree (BSN) and once you are working, your employer should have a program that will cover much of the cost of an NP degree that will give you more earning power

Do you like math or science? How many years do you want to spend in school? What type of hours do you want to work?

It also depends where you live special ed or speech can earn a lot in ny but a lot less in Baltimore

Some of what you posted there easily makes over $500,000 annually in the trial state area. But can require 6 to 12+ years of schooling.

If NY public school teachers in a decent district make around $100,000 plus benefits and have the summers off.

What state are you in?

I'm very smart and a hard worker but I have no interest in math, science, or computers. It isn't that I can't do it, I find computers boring, medical stuff scares me (I hate blood), and accounting isn't up my alley. I wish there were higher paying jobs not in STEM fields. Sad

I know lots and lots of nurses. If you're going to do this, be prepared to work a lot and work really, really hard. And you're going to be put on nights for a very long time, so just be ready for that eventuality. You can make less by working in a doctor's office, but you won't get experience that way.

The employer pays very little toward the cost of the NP degree, and they have a lot of stipulations tied to that money. You have to be working there for a certain amount of time and you have to commit to staying in their job, or they will demand their money back.

You also have to somehow fit NP school and doing clinical work while you're working nights in a hospital. It's not easy. I don't know why so many frum women go into this field.

Actually at my first job I was able.to switch to days within 6 months. My friend as well. It is unit dependent and hospital dependent. As far as working hard, if you love what you do than it doesnt feel like work. Regardless, OP says she doesnt want the medical field.
I undersrand that you want to help, but you are goving misinformation that you have learned via hearsay

More inaccuracies. My current employer will cover my tuition fully at a cuny or suny college with the only stipulation that they do so while I am employed there full time. Many of my colleagues have already completed their NP degrees in this way. This is a nursing union benefit for us. Again, these benefits are specific to your particular employer, but this is not unusual in nursing

My sis bh just completely nursing school. The type of misinformation pp wrote about is coming from other nurses who arent happy in the fields. I asked my 2 sils who are nurses for info before my sis started and they were cursing it out. One doesn't work as a nurse anymore, she has an office job and one works 1 or 2 days a week.. I think it was very hard on both of them...

Regarding nursing:. Because we have a passion for this job!
I love love love what I do and I come home exhilarated and on a high knowing that I have used my skills, smarts and compassion to make a huge difference in my patients' lives. The human body fascinates me... seeing and understanding the marvel of hashems creation daily in the intricate workings of the body never gets boring for me. Working in tandem with medical providers of all calibers, beimg an integral part of the team is super gratifying. Is the work hard? Often. Are the shofts long? Yes. Would I trade my job as a nurse for anything? Absolutely not!

I'm pretty sure the DOE pays the same no matter what district you work in. And it takes several years plus a masters degree or two to earn over 100K.

OP. If you are good in math

Not necessarily. You need a lot!!!!! of time and patience to become qualified. I have the degree and one exam. I graduated top of the class. Then I had kids. It’s not doable for me anymore.
