can everyone handle this?

i was wondering if this is a hard unit to work in. i figured that it has a fast turn over rate. i'm in my second year of nursing school and we do not get do any kind of work with cancer pt's, but i think it would be neat,my question is, what kind of person or personality works best with the cancer pt's.

I work as a peds onc nurse. I either go home totally elated or I cry myself to sleep. The great thing is that I FEEL every day. I am not a nurse for the hours or the money, but for the fact that it fills my life.

Well said Canadian RN, I couldn't agree any more or said it any better!
