It disturbs me that in the medical field that the people who spend the least amount of time and contact with patients get paid more. The more education and degrees you earn the farther you get from actually being in contact with patients.

arua14, not a single one of us nurses is going to get rich in this field. As for me, and only my opinion, I harken to a proverb from the New-T.
A man owned a field, he went to a town and hired some workers to work the field. Promising to pay let's say $25/a day. Later in the day the owner saw that he would need to hire more workers to finish the work. Promising the same rate of pay. Close to the end of the day, the field owner hired yet a few more workers, at the same rate of pay. When the day was done, the origional crew were grumbling. Stateing why should these workers who came later in the day recieve the same pay as us. We did all the work for the entire day, and they came in so much later. The field owner heard their grumbeling and told them. This field is mine, what is grown here is mine, the money I pay you is mine. Who are you to worry how I spend my money. You hired on for a set sum to do the work you agreed to do. Be content that you are recieving what you concidered a fair wage in the morning. Do not worry that these other workers are recieving what they concidered fair later in the day, a workman is worthy of his hire.

Just my opinion, there are much bigger issues to concider than what someone else makes, when you hired on at what you concidered to be a fair wage.

ljr3418 I am not concerned with the amount of money other people make. And I am satisified with my finances because I have never wanted for anything. Not because of my paycheck but because of my faith. I was merely stating that the people that know the most about the patients and how to care for them seem to be at the lower end of the totem pole when it comes to recogniton. And the more degrees that are obtained by an individual the farther they get from actually being in contact (ie- touching, listening, talking) to the patients.

I stand corrected, thank you. I also agree with that surmise. It is a shame that my CNA's don't make so much, they are the greatest. They are my eyes and ears.
