Hello all. I just have a question. I am an RPN started working in an acute care unit for 6 months now. I can say I hate nursing I mean the toxic co-workers and the high expectations of patients and families are killing me. I have tried to have a positive view everyday I go to work. I tend not to involve myself with the politics that exist in the workplace among the staff, but still their attitudes, their constant battles on who gets the easier patient, their backstabbing and wanting to find a fault somehow in your practice to report you to manager is killing both my working spirit and my drive to continue doing my bridge to RN. Do you think is it wise for me to continue on the path to do my bridge or change my profession altogether? is it going to be better if I do my RN and find work in other areas of nursing? or all the nursing specializations are toxic like this? I'd appreciate your input and opinions
