I know I'm asking for it, but does it ever seem like from clinicals that nursing can be really boring?
I just finished my LPN program and start RN next week, but in all my different rotations it seemed like there were a lot of things that would bore me to tears (like rehab nursing, and so on) Do you think maybe it's just because as a student we can't do much, so I'm not really getting a feel for it? I will say when I got to OB/peds and got to do a day in ICU with my preceptor for leadership, it seemed way more interesting.... but a lot of jobs seem like you just pass meds and chart all day. Maybe I just made it more glamorous in my mind, but I'm starting to worry that I won't like nursing (and I've dreamed of being one since I was 7yrs old). Do you think maybe I just haven't found an area that interests me? I'm scared I may hate working as a nurse after all this hard work.
