They're dropping for various reasons, I'm sure. But first and foremost because a bachelor's degree isn't worth anything anymore. Both my sister and my father have Bachelor's degrees and my dad's a janitor and my sister's a nurse. Granted, a nurse isn't that bad, but cleaning up people's feces on top of everyone in the practice being against her going to school to become a doctor (so she doesn't have to "ask permission" or clean up after people anymore) is a disgrace. And for my dad -- he's working with the lowest of the low. It's just awful that someone can bury themselves in 100k of debt to barely make more than minimum wage and clean up shit.
- blackguardx 11y agoNursing is a highly paid, respected profession. It is a different job than a doctor, just like a designer is different than a programmer.
- hueving 11y agoYour sister doesn't sound like a nurse to me. An RN doesn't clean up feces.
- Omniusaspirer 11y agoThey absolutely do in the US if the situation calls for it and more appropriate staff aren't immediately available. You can't leave someone sitting in their own feces for an hour just because the CNA's are currently busy with other patients and you're somehow too good to do the dirty work.

- protomyth 11y agoNurses come in different levels, an LPN would probably be doing cleanup instead of an RN. A nurse practitioner would be even less likely.
