With all the holidays/bank holidays and the short working hours I d go for the teaching option everytime. Nursing would have to be less attractive with the long working hours/shift systems, plus you would need a childminder/creche which would take a nice chunk out of your salary. Nursing has become overly bureaucratic with a huge emphasis on writing up documents, SOPs etc, all additional administration which causes a lot of additional pressure and are now unavoidable. I know a lot of nurses all suffering from stress related to the job to varying degrees, many want to get out for these reasons and all would have preferred teaching with the benefit of hindsight. Nursing can be a thankless job and the pay does not reflect the degree of responsibility IMO.

I don't know about teachers but you are dead right about the situation with Irish nurses, whole classes are emigrating to the UK, Australia and Canada and have been doing for the last number of years. It is so sad especially when they needed right now so badly in their own country and all we hear about is cutbacks, cutbacks and more cutbacks in the Health and Social Care Services.
Why is the state spending millions training nurses we don't need?
There's a large enough pool of qualified nurses to last us for years. The same goes for teachers. Madness.

Last I heard, it costs €57000 to train a nurse. You're right why are we wasting so much money for jobs that are not there?
Sadly it looks like that only those with the contacts now will get the jobs in their chosen profession and the rest can emigrate. Everything has changed and yet nothing has changed.
