Exhausted Queensland Nurses Consider Prostitution A Better Option
"We could no longer work in such an understaffed and stressful environment," said a former registered nurse of 10 years' experience. She also revealed at least four other colleagues of hers too had begun to work in brothels.
"I was overworked, poorly paid and a mistake could have led to charges if I caused a death," said the woman, described as Jenna and who is a mother of two.
"I came to the conclusion the nursing shortage wasn't my problem but it was my responsibility to protect myself from burning out or making a fatal mistake."
She also highlighted the "tiny tea-rooms" for nurses and the lack of recognition they received.
"After the Bali bomb blasts, the burns unit of the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital treated many additional patients. At the end, the doctor was given an award. The nurses got nothing," she said.
Jenna said violence was more of a concern in hospitals than in the sex industry.
"The security (at the brothel) is wonderful. We have buzzers in our room, there are bracelets we can request if you have a client you're a bit suspicious of."
Jenna said she had gone to great lengths to hide her new occupation from her family. "I wear my nurse's uniform to work, I carry my hospital ID. But when I get to work I change. There's a couple of others who do the same," she said.

When I read the article about the Nurse who decided to turn to prostitution for less stress, my heart broke! I am a Registered Nurse who is also overworked and underpaid. Because of this commonality, nurses typically work alot of overtime or take on two jobs for extra money. Enough of that. I never saw my family or had any fun, and I also wasn't much fun to be around, either. I found a better way.
