Hello all. I'm currently in my last semester as an RN student. I went into nursing with the idea that I want to be an NP in a primary care office or maybe urgent care. I LOVE learning about diseases and LOVE learning about medications. I work in a pharmacy now and am obsessed with learning new meds and knowing the pharmacological action of them.
My concern is, I truly truly do NOT like my exposure to the RN role right now. I've been mostly on med surg, but I do not like doing these assigned tasks like trach care, wound dressings, etc. I feel like there are too many tasks and too many patients to really focus on one and get to understand their individual situation. I'm very discouraged right now, so I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who did not like their experience as an RN but love their job as an NP. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and respond.
