1. I hate nursing..

   AnneCurrey replied to flygirls2's topic in New Nurse

   Agreed! However, my point is that young people are cheating themselves if they don't select a career in something that they are passionate about and something they like. Some pursue college humanities and teach/do research in those subjects, work fo...

2. I hate nursing..

   AnneCurrey replied to flygirls2's topic in New Nurse

   Then get out when you can. There are tons of jobs that pay as much and so what if you make a couple thousand dollars less per year. Get that MBA or chef's degree or degree in History or anything. It's about the quality of life and the respect. How ma...

3. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

   AnneCurrey replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida

   Well, if you like nursing then that's good. Most people don't. Yes, there are days off but when one gets older those days off are needed to recover from a 12 hour shift - and a full lunch break is considered a bonus. However, I'm glad that you found ...

   AnneCurrey replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida

   Well, I am also a believer and if somebody hates what they are doing so much, it may be that you are in the wrong job choice. I hated nursing but was stuck in it for a long long time because I was a single again parent raising a child and didn't hav...

8. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

   AnneCurrey replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida

   Leave the field now. Nursing is a horrible horrible field and for a comperable amount of education, you can work in the business world, art world, fashion, chef or or anything you choose. You don't need a therapist, you need a career change. So what...

9. Hate nursing school, hate bedside, will I like public health better?

   AnneCurrey replied to SaraFL's topic in Public/Community

   Leave the field now and use any means possible. It takes a real different sort of person to enjoy cleaning up body waste, being on one's feet all day and not even getting lunch breaks on a regular basis. You already have your answer. You don't like ...
