    I love what I do. I get frustrated with the hospital politics. I know that there isn't a perfect place to work. being an OR nurse I have comfort zones. surgical specialities that I know better than others. but I don't always get to do what I am comfortable with.

    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 it's a bit like a sometimes bad marriage, I guess. The partner is very much flawed, unpredictable, tempermental, and infuriating. I stay in the marriage because I am in love, and am attached to my "spouse", and can't see myself anywhere else.
