Why did I pick nursing

I am an LPN and have worked in a hospital(it was hell! 7pt, 1 cna for 27 pt and most needed total care, no sec, with all in isolation, and the list is endless so i will stop) Office (reproductive gyn, the md are so needy there and they yell at employee, was never yelled at but couldn't stand and watch) and Walk in clinic that gave me full time hours and did not want to give me benefits. I am almost done with my pre-reqs for the brige to RN but I am thinking that I would not like that either. Is nursing all bad. Will I have better luck being an RN. I feel like i should of done Dental Hygiene.

Re: Why did I pick nursing

You should take a moment to consider a few things. Is it the place you work that you hate or is it caring for people in general? There is alot you can do as an RN. There is a good chance you can find a spot that fits you but you have to want to continue with this type of work. It sounds like the work environment is not the best there. Look around at other hospitals near you and find out from nurses working the units what they think about the hospital. Hope this helps some.
