putting me off

Hi there,

Sorry that you seem to keep into the nursing naysayers, I have been an RN in the US for over 20 yrs and hold license in 3 states here. I'm not sure how nursing in England but can't imagine it could too different. I love what I do and always have, I even liked nursing when I was in school and paying for the experience. Yeah it can be tough at times and stressful, but life is also tough and stressful as well. I know that I have always done the best for my patients and have helped my fellow humans in a way that makes me feel good about what I do. When I retire I will be able to look back and know that I had a postive impact in the lives of the patients and/or families whom I have had the privilege to care for. You go on with your education and join the ranks of nursing professionals working to make our world a better place. We need all the help we can get. If you need a hand in school with anything I might be able to assist you in please let me know.... flaerman

You posted this almost two years ago Wendy, just wondering what you decided to do. If you changed you plans or if you are a nurse by now.

Read the forums here and you'll see a negative slant because we come here to vent. Nursing is a tough and demanding field. Check out the "stickey's" on our general nursing forum for a few positive thoughts. Good luck in whatever you do.
