My partner is a nurse, and I have nothing but respect for what they do. It is, however, considered low status compared to other jobs in the field. This isnt just me saying it.
And they get underpaid here.
Sure, in the field they get the shit end of the stick. I suppose that not being in the medical field, I hold them in high esteem for their labors. Most people I've talked with about it do, too.
I certainly agree that they're underpaid.
