Feeling lost...

[Happynurse12]

I have been a RN for 3 years now and before that served as an HM in the Navy. I have worked psych, med-surg, and currently urgent care. I question if I want to continue in Nursing sometimes. I like my current position but dislike working with burnt out ER nurse and providers. I just don't feel like I have the personality for the ED/UC specialty. How long did it take you to love nursing or find your niche? I went into nursing to work in women's health, wether that be OB or as a lactation educator but it seems these positions are tough to break into. Any tips on how to move in that direction? Thanks!

Yes, the program that I did was an LPN to RNBSN program. I had to pass the 5 areas of the RN NCLEX tests in order to be accepted and have my prerequisites as well. I did this and completed the classes at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center. You don't have to be an RN to achieve this.:)
