9. Discouraged by Nurses who hate their job

   blueyedgaze replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I work at a hospital doing clerical duties, admissions, etc. I'd say half of the nurses can't stand their jobs and the other half absolutely love what they do! The ones that can't stand it obviously went into the healthcare field blind. It's an ex...
