  1. Does Nursing stay at work, or does it follow you home?

    I've heard Med/Surg is one of the most stressful areas. Do parents ever harrass you? Do you make mistakes? I'm so scared of mistakes, but I guess that will make me a more cautious nurse. Just today at my office, I went to the wrong building by accide...
  2. Confidence level

    I also feel the exact same way. I'm in the pre-reqs, but I'm scared to death. Patients lives will be in my hands, and to me, this won't be just a job, this will be a committment. I'm just scared to death.
  3. Does Nursing stay at work, or does it follow you home?

  7. Does the stress from Nursing follow you home?

    That's good to know.. So you have time for kids/family and you're able to relax without thinking about how awful your day is sometimes? Are you on 12 hour shifts or 8 hours? When I read the thread 'the realities of nursing' everyone makes nursing so...
  8. Hello everyone! I'm an upcoming nursing student and I've been 'ghosting' or should I say, reading on this forum for weeks without ever posting. I've been researching what nursing is all about myself (not asking others to decide!) so I can decide if i...
