Do You Like, Love or Dislike Your current job?

Started a new job, recently. Seems like most I work with are pretty displeased with their jobs. How about you? Just curious.

Like, Love or Dislike?

I would have to say that I like my job...I mean I do not dread going to work. I work with a great team, we have a good time and get a lot done. I never have to worry about them having my back.

But would I go in if I won the lottery.....hmmmmm doubtfull;)

Like it. Part of it, I love. But I miss patient care - I do not, however, miss shifts, working holidays, being mandated, and the petty politics of the floor.

I like my job alot. Love is something I could never imagine feeling about a job :) I dont see myself going anywhere, barring winning a lottery. In that case, bye-bye, but I like it enough and respect my coworkers enough that I still wouldnt quit without having trained my replacement.

What I like best is that it's not a den of gossip or politics.

Ahhh... it's ok. Not the best place to work, but certainly not the worst.

Lots of politics going on right now. I recently changed to 3rd shift, and although I do not like sleeping all day, I am only doing 3 days a week, so it makes it alright.

I love my job. I look forward to each shift. My job is stressful, but I have amazing coworkers, and find nursing to be very emotionally rewarding.

I love what my job could and should be -- but the politics and economics are bad now, so I am not happy in my job. But on paper, there is no better job that I can think of.

Yep, that about sums it up for me also, except I'd probably still want to volunteer at the nursing home because I really do love my residents:redpinkhe

I love my job. Not that I'm not pulling my hair out sometimes but overall it is everything I could ask for at this time. :) Lol, yeah though if I won the lottery I'd definitely be back as a volunteer only.

I currently fluctuate between liking it and loving it.

Truth is, you could be working in paradise, but if you're working for an a-hole you're gonna be miserable.

And one thing I've found out, is that great jobs can turn to crap very quickly.

I really do love my job. If I won the lottery, I'd probably work a few days a month.

Nice coworkers, nice patients, and the management is pretty supportive.
