Ask nurses what their day is actually like. Some love it, some are burned out. I would also compare other healthcare programs like respiratory therapy, radiology, occupational therapy or medical lab technology. There is more than one stable healthcare path.
Is nursing one of the safest majors in Canada and the U.S. right now?

My family keeps pushing nursing because they say healthcare jobs are stable. I like helping people, but I’m nervous about stress and burnout.
AI Summary
People discuss nursing as a stable major while being honest about workload, burnout, clinical placements and emotional demands.
Answers & Discussion
Healthcare is not going away, and nursing has many directions: hospital, clinic, public health, school nursing, travel nursing, management. That flexibility is a plus. But the training is demanding, and clinical placements can be stressful.
Nursing can be stable, but people should not sell it like easy money. The work is physical, emotional and sometimes exhausting. If you genuinely care about patient care and can handle pressure, it can be a strong path. If you only want job security, shadow a nurse first.
