Okay, I am sure each and everyone has felt this way at sometime in our student nurse career, but I'm still wondering--is this really what I want to do?
I am beginning my second year of my ADN program and I'm still not sure if this is right for me. I love learning about the disease processes, medications, mechanisms of action and so forth, but I really don't feel that this is a career that I want to do for the rest of my life. For example, I have been working as an extern for about a year now, and I always DREAD going to work. I like the people I work with, and some patient's do make the job worthwhile at times, however if I am choosing this as a career shouldn't I be enjoying what I am doing?
Maybe it's all nerves, and I'm completely crazy--but this has been a thought that has came across my mind recently. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is going through the same dilemma or just some advice to figure this all out.
Sorry so long, and thanks in advance.
