I addressed this question in the middle of a poll thread about how much people cry at work, but didn't get much of an answer. I feel like if I put it in this forum more people will be able to answer, and also benefit...
Are RN hospitals jobs the ones that make people cry the most? I keep reading in various thread that RNs leave hospitals to find some other nursing position, and are always "so grateful" they found this new job.
More than one nurse has told me, almost as a precaution to a pre-nursing student, "Remember, hospitals are not the only place nurses work."
And yet I know most RNs need to work at least a year in a hospital setting before they can move on to a new kind of RN job. I feel like I am going to have to brace myself for one year of torture before the light at the end of the tunnel!
Is it true? Say it ain't so!
Also, what are these mysterious RN jobs people leave hospitals for, where they are so much happier and grateful?
