no not really but i found out that very info you have just stated a long long time ago. when i was in college one of my nsg professors gave a lecture on that very subject....teaching vs working. i was surprised to say the least. but then again there is no overtime in teaching and no double shifts etc etc so there you have it.  having said that i do appreciate the nsg instructors and see how hard they work for very little pay . but i much prefer the hassle and commitment of working on the floor to grading papers and tests giving lectures and monitoring clincical. it takes all kinds of people to keep nsg moving foreward into the 21st century so keep your chin up and think about doing some full time work during the summer to make up for the lack of cash flow during the school year!! good luck
