Well, as someone who has been so excited to start my prereq's and work toward getting into a Masters Entry Program in Nursing, some of the unhappiness I've been hearing about nursing as a profession is a tad unsettling... I've been trying to tell myself that I'm different, that I will feel differently about nursing, and I believe I will. But so did a lot of people here who now feel like they've made the worst choice of their life.
SO.... I am looking for encouragement. I am wanting to hear from those Nurses at every level and every specialty, who are HAPPY with their chosen profession!

Sounds like me about 12 years ago.
I do enjoy taking care of my pts, and being able to contribute to their getting better, or maintaining an optimal level of health, considering their serious illnesses.
However, nursing is a very, very hard job, and very stressful. There's no denying it.
