    I find this the most annoying question when I'm working. I don't know, but it just bothers me. "So how do you like nursing?"

    If you think about it, I don't ask my accountant while he/she is filling out my tax return "So, how do you like accounting?" And I never hear patients ask docs "So how do you like being a gynecologist/neurologist/surgeon?"

    Go get an oil change ..."so how do you like being a mechanic?" Go to the grocery store... "so how do you like cashiering?"

    To me, nursing is my job just like all the other careers I just mentioned. It pays my bills, feeds my kids, and lets me enjoy my life. I just wish patients and their families would quit asking because it drives me crazy....ok rant over now :-)

  4. I think they're hoping you feel positively about it and consequently will give good care. You're right, though, it does get asked a lot!
