Hi all,
I posted this in the useful sites as well but I was just reading and I think this would help you as well. It's a website that I stumbled upon awhile ago when I was deciding what to do with my career. This article is all about a first year registered nurse working in San Francisco, she writes about her real life job experience on the job, the highs and the lows. Reading what she wrote really helped me learn about what it was like to be a nurse, here is the link:
Registered Nurse's - real life job experience
it's on the website:
http://www.jobpodge.com which is a website dedicated to real life job descriptions
Good luck all,
