Hi everyone thought id ask the question What are the realities of nursing?
Im needing help as I started my nursing diploma course last week and have had my first bit of homework which is to find out the myths and realities of nursing. I thought it would be better to ask those who are student nurses and also qualified nurses. I have a few myths but as I havnt had any formal placements (training on wards/community) I cant really say what the realities are for many of you out there.
I'd be grateful for some input as I dont want to make up realities from the top of my head as that defies the point of me researching. Hope you can help. Thank you for reading. Lastly I apologise if this has been put in the wrong place as I thought being a british student id put it in the UK forums.

At the risk of being flamed, I'll do it for you. Most days, I love my job. Others, it's just a job and I'm there for the paycheque.
There, an honest answer.
