Ok so lately I've been reading several posts of nurses that are just really tired of nursing. With all due respect, why don't you leave nursing already if it causes you this most heartache? Yes you have bills, need insurance, have kids, and may be the sole provider... however what is all of of this if you don't have your sanity. What is the paycheck worth if you are completly miserable. Yes I am a nurse and have my good days and bad days. However, I don't see myself doing anything else outside of nursing.
I would encourage any nurse to stay in nursing and find their ninche. If you have lost your love for nursing reflect on what originally drew you to nursing. Try to ignite the passion again. If all else fails... goodbye, idios, see you later !
You should either put up or SHUT up!
Now let the negative posts and flamming begin !!!!!

Lordamercy, is my ninche missing again? I am such an idios!

I think you're talking about marriage, not nursing.
Btw, what's a ninche? Code word for nine inch nails?
I'd like to agree with you but it's easier said than done. Most people can't survive without their paycheck so food and shelter have to come before their happiness. Going back to school for a new career is money and time taken away from families and many people can't afford to do that unfortunately.
I have to disagree. It a person wants something bad enough, they will make it happen. May not be easy, but it will happen.
And why settle, ever? I'm a single mom 40+ and I have done it. Don't give up on your dreams. Ever.
People are allowed to complain or vent. What difference does it make to you whether or not they like nursing or quit? It doesn't. Time to grow up. The world is full of complaining, venting, and/or flat out negativity.
It's a shame to see kudos on this post. Just another confirmation of how nursing is! "Put up or SHUT UP". Something a very intelligent and classy person would say when they read something they don't like.
Nursing isn't all flowers and candy, so expect to see those kinds of posts. People are entitled to their opinion and you do not get to dictate what they do or what they can say.
Working a job you hate to make ends meet is miserable yes, but in my experience, constant stress about money and making ends meet is just as bad if not worse.
What a terrible thing to say. Seriously. It's the people who DON'T "put up or shut up" who change things, first of all, and some of the things that make people tired of nursing are things that we should work to change. Secondly, one of the purposes of the site is to be a forum for support and with that will come a certain amount of venting.
Thank you for being intelligent. Point on. IMHO, the OP should "toughen up" if reading posts about ones dislike for their job bothers them so much that they made an entire post ranting about it.
It seems like a lot of this goes on in nursing. EVERY single time someone on here voices their opinion about disliking their job, field, floor, working conditions, etc. You get some nasty ol' nurse berating them in their thread or giving them the general "Put up or shut up". It's another fine example of how classy & intelligent some nurses can be in this field.(sarcasm)

Yes, but they can't make that happen overnight.
Think of a single mom who makes "too much" and doesn't qualify for any aid.
How will she pay for college?
When will she go? After work?
Who is going to watch her kids while she's in school? How much is that going to cost?
We are in the middle of a GREAT DEPRESSION. So no, it's NOT as easy as it seems. I think there are PLENTY of motivated people, on this board, but we need to be realistic.
I know engineers and lawyers who cannot land a job. A few settled for housecleaning and bartending.
I work in mental health a lot, and I can see from these posts that many nurses feel trapped. Yes, if we lived in a wonderful world, it would be very nice to be able to just change jobs (or get the nursing job u want) easily. However people come on here and complain, because they feel lonely, desperate and need to talk. And everyone knows they would be more miserable without a job - there are many nurses out there without work, or who haven't worked as a nurse yet & I feel so much heartache for them. It must be great to have a nice job, no hassles, supportive family, with no sick kids or whatever trials people go through. Do u care what happens to other nurses?
Your post lacks compassion and maturity. How old are you?
I think u need to grow up a little and put yourself in other people's shoes. It's your harsh "Dr Phil, tell it like it is" attitude that can make people downhearted, and even contemplate other drastic, measures.
Also I think u need to learn how to spell as well, some of ur post doesn't really make sense. We are not "idios", and we do not do "flamming".
WE DO NOT TYPE IN CAPITALS EITHER BECAUSE IT IS SEEN AS SHOUTING!
Instead of putting people down, why can't u get on here and try to empathise and help them? Or is that too much of an effort.
