    Yes, I love nursing. It is just difficult some days to get past all the politics and other issues like short staffing and conflicting personalities to actually get to the patients. If I can just get to the bedside of my patients, I am ok.
    well said....i have to second that!!

    Personally I love what I do I just don't let it control my life once I leave the building. I have made so many good people of all ethnic groups I can really appreciate everyone.

    Very well said, Adrienne....

    From the bottom of my heart... I truly love and embrace my chosen Profession of Nursing.

    Peace

    I've always wanted to be a nurse since I was 5 yrs old. Sure, it took me 7 years post high school graduation to complete my degree, but it's the only thing that I ever wanted to do and now I am doing it.

    Had to think about it for a minute but yes, I love nursing!
    In fact the only reason that I think I get frustrated with the politics and the problems it is because I care so much.

    Thanks for asking the question and making me remember that the problems we encounter everyday should make me want to better the profession and do a better job for my patients not want to walk away and never look back.
