Default Re: Am I the only new nurse who doesn't hate my job?
Some days I love it, some I want to quit. But usually I look forward to going in each day. I work long term care and rehab, so I have 14-30 patients. Lots of meds to pass, lots of head-to-toe assessments and charting, treatments that don't seem to end. Usually I have time for a 5-minute conversation with at least one or two patients that is not medical related. When I can accomplish all I need to do and punch out on time after a 8-hour shift, I feel like I did good. And when a patient thanks me sincerely or gives me a hug, it is worth it. Days when one wants me to crawl in bed with him or when I need to transfer someone to the hospital, or we have 2-3 new admits to process, I want to work at McDonalds.
