I mostly love my job! Granted I am only 2 months into it and just came off orientation 2 weeks ago, but I really like it so far. I am a new grad and I started in LTC right out of school 4 months ago...did not like that. Transitioned to the hospital and I just enjoy being able to do a multitude of skills and not have to deal with the CNA drama. All of the nurses I work with are amazing and have no issues teaching me or answering my insane amount of questions. There are nights once in a while where some of my patients drive me looney toons but that makes life interesting.
Most days I really like my job..Some days I nearly love it and some days..well, some I question how I got myself into this mess lol. But overall, I like it. I'm a medsurg nurse and have only been working since June. I know medsurg isn't where I will stay, but I do work with quite a good group of people that I know will be hard to leave behind whenever I decide to try a new unit. Most of them very helpful and u don't feel crazy asking them questions when I just don't know. And now that I'm no longer the newest nurse on the unit, I also help other people out. I've had students follow me and many patients compliment and thank me..and that's what makes my day that much better. :)
I'm still waiting for "the" job, but I do home infusions PRN, and I really enjoy it. I plan to keep this job even once I'm working in my desired field. I love the flexibility, it's very chill, the company is easy to work with, they pay well, I say yes or no to each job, my patients are awesome, I just can't complain. I'm grateful I had IV experience before being a RN (former Navy corpsman), which enabled me to get this job. I've been doing it since July, and I look forward to seeing where it takes me! So far, I've made a VERY good contact from one of my patients, who is trying to help me to get a hospital job.

I see so many posts that say "I hate my job, etc". Does anyone here actually enjoy their job? LOL
Atleast I love my job. Even beasting out 48-52 hours a week I love it.
