Nurse to Trucker

Hi guys! I just found this place and I have a lot of reading and research to do, but I thought I would start here and get your insights first.

I've been an ICU nurse for ten years, and everyone knows about the crap the healthcare industry has been dealing with lately. It has me thinking about totally getting out of healthcare altogether. I've always thought about a career in truck driving.

My son is older and my husband works on the river (28 days on, 14 off), so I don't think I would mind being away from home.

The biggest things I would have to consider before even thinking about the lifestyle would be pay and benefits, seeing as my current job has a pretty excellent package... but it comes at the cost of working us to the bone. I'm also sick of seeing people die every day. So, if you don't mind answering, what is your experience with pay in this current economy? What about health benefits?
