Well, pretty much the entire media is full of it. I bet you didn't know that either.

Well, in all fairness, CNN is full of it so long as the story doesn't shed good light on the ACA.

Or not, when it does... especially in the blogosphere.

I think there is an audience for that.

Correction: only if it's a conservative blog.

Now can we get back to the topic at hand?

People change careers all the time, lawyers stop practicing law, accountants stop doing tax returns, and doctors stop practicing medicine. In spite of what liberals think doctors are not slaves who have to treat people if they don't want to.

Which is fear mongering.

I bet you picked something from CNN because it sounds conservative. If it didn't... you would be trumpeting "liberal bias".

I mean, are you really that arrogant? Get real.

Nursing majors changing their field of study? To what? Sociology? Communication? Who are you kidding?

Here in Arizona, just GETTING into an in-state nursing school in a reasonable time is a tough task because there are so many applicants. My niece wants to get into NAU for Dental Hygiene...there is about a 2 to 3 year wait for even the most qualified applicants.

People that want to go into medicine don't want to do anything else. The overwhelming majority of people aren't cut out for that type of work. Not everyone can draw someones blood, or give someone a bath. Not everyone can watch a childbirth without getting queasy. These people are BORN...they're not really made.

And they aren't going to change their major unless they can't academically hack it. Then and only then will they change majors.

Besides, the HC profession is one of the few secure and growing industries left in this damn country. People just aren't going to drop nursing to become Business Majors.

You guys should be more careful about your stories in the future.
Tell you what. Come back and tell me how right you were five years from now....
