How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

Hi All!

I am a brand new nursing student, and I was instructed to join allnurses.com for a class. Now, as you can expect I have this picture of my head when it comes to nursing of helping others, having awesome co workers, and just having an awesome job in general! I understand that it is not always sunshine and rainbows, but I hope the good will outweigh the bad that could possibly happen. This is why I decided to become a nurse, but coming onto this website scares me! All of the threads I see are titled "I hate my job", "I should not be a nurse", "My co workers hate me", and things like that. It seems to me like these are all new nurses just starting out and still trying to find there way in the nursing world, but all of these posts are very intimidating to someone who will be in their shoes in just a few short years. So, I guess this brings me back to my original question. How many of you actually enjoy your job?

Specializes in L&D.

I absolutely love my job. I'm a L&d nurse for just under 2 years. There have been some things I haven't liked...but overall I love it.

Specializes in Hospice & Palliative Care, Oncology, M/S.

I love my work, my coworkers, and the majority of my patients. I dislike the tedious charting, teletracking, and the ethical challenges we come up against. The days I am able to sit and really talk with my patients and their families are what makes my work rewarding and reminds me of how much I really adore nursing.
