Do you like nursing?

Published

Ive seen so many cons if nursing to the point where it makes me want to question nurses this.

Do you guys love being a nurse? And at the same time are you happy with your life?

Mmm, I think what is good to keep in mind is to take what people say with a grain of salt. A lot come online to vent/express negative views.

Edit: This doesn't mean the complaints aren't valid, but you can't really base your decisions on the opinions and experiences of others. I've done things that people say they hated but I thoroughly enjoyed.

Good days and bad days. Not enough good days to make me stay in the profession longer than I need to.

Here is mine.

If asked for being "plainly" a nurse. No way. I initially tried to get rid of the profession by learning so many other things like English, computer programming, bussiness management, dress making, electronics, even carpentry. What happened later, I even buried myself deeper into nursing because those other things I learned led me to get job enrichment. Since fifteen years back I was pulled into nursing committee office, giving lectures, assissting IT office, serving at staff training, some other lovely things to do.

So now I would say I love being a nurse. ;)

Yes I love being a nurse. Do I ahve bad days that I think a job in the food services industry would be better? Yes. Is it a hard job? YES.

But there really isn't anything I would rather be than a nurse.
