Depends on location. Most professions I know with that much effort and stress get paid a lot less than $100K, which is the median nurse pay in my area. Amazon pays a lot less.
My point is that you can get a BA and go sit at a decently cushy desk job for 60k-80k/year in many parts of the US. Nursing might pay a bit more but at much greater cost to one's health.

Yes, I wasn't comparing nursing to jobs with much lower wages.
