I am sooooooo tired of working as the designated incharge RN on my unit, sure I'm a younger nurse compared to some and have gotten positive feedback from everyone about the job I'm doing
but its just not me
I dont dig all this administrative stuff
I miss my patient care!
I want to leave feeling that I've helped someone specifically and made a difference......
today I walked into work and heared everyone moaning and pizzing about how heavy their teams are!
I mean I know we all complain sometimes but each team complained and really the teams are not that brutal right about now.
I wish that some ppl would start viewing their patients as ppl,and not just part of "a brutal assignment"
people are here cuz they need us, and I know I may be idealistic when I start ranting about how I dont like to hear my co workers complain about patients but it just makes me feel bad that just because a person may need a lot of care that nurses get upset and hostile because of all the potential work they are gonna have to do on their shift.
nursing is never a cake walk.....its a damn difficult career to maintain, and you cannot go into it with the notion that you will not always be working ur butt off and clearly making less money than you deserve.
the desire to nurse comes from within, comes from somewhere that I personally cant explain
but when you hear your fellow nurses complaining about this patient, or this assignment, on a habitual basis, not just because their day is particularly rough, doesnt it make you ponder why they continue to nurse in the first place?!?!?!
