Is there less of a demand for Pediatric nurses?

Are nurses in high demand right now?

• Hi!! I just turned 17, and am realllyyy trying to find something to go into, i love helping people and stuff like that. How much money do you get paid per year? or hour? in ohio?? around piqua or troy? Please be honest, now adays, its hard to find a job. I've heard they are in demand, then i heard that they aren't in demand? are they in demand in ohio? like i said around piqua or troy?? Thanks alot!

• Answer:

  They are in demand, but you must consider that getting a degree in nursing is the hardest one to get, so you must be committed to this. The best way to get the job is that you have at least 300-400 volunteering hours within the medical field. Your question for how much you get paid per year is quite vague, what type of nurse do you want to be? If you're just a front line nurse you would make around $63,000, but after paying taxes you get $42,000. Like I said before you must be committed, you're going to do more than just "helping people and stuff". So if you have a weak stomach than this job would definitely not suit you, I suggest becoming Public Health nurse which you will work with new mothers and babies.
