Bedside Nursing

Published

Anyone out there like/love bedside nursing?

I am about to graduate and I am just curious with all that is said as far as how hard and undesirable it is, if anyone enjoys it/would never leave?

If you are one of the nurses who left/ want to leave, could you tell me why?

Thanks!

Bedside nursing encompasses a number of specialties, each involving direct patient care. I assume your are referring particularly to medical surgical nursing?

I love the crazy mess my work is. Take that as you will. I experience great fulfillment some days and others I get burnout. I've been in medsurg/tele for 2 years now. The staff helps. If you have a supportive staff that you can ask questions or assistance from, it's a godsend. Most of my coworkers have stated they've stayed so long because of the people they work with.
