Anecdotal counterpoint, I spent a lot of time in the hospital over the last year or so, and the vast majority of nurses that I spoke to were happy with their income and hours. I personally thought the 12 hour shifts would be a huge pain, but they all seemed to love the 3 day work week. Edit: The only nurse that seemed unhappy was an older agency nurse who was recently laid off from a hospital, and was having trouble finding steady work because she didn't have a four year degree. I wonder if the stress from changing standards is a factor.
