I just started working at a nursing home where LPN's always outnumber RN's. And I'm a CNA who is just starting out not really enjoying the job as a whole. I'm also planing on getting my LPN or RN in the future. My thing is that most of all the LPN's I talk to or RN's I come across tell me that becoming a Nurse isnt as great as it looks. And most of all the LPN's at my job don't look happy. Many of them looked burnt out or just not happy. My question is it really all that bad? And why does it seem that most nurses I run into tell me not to go into nursing. Its one nurse( LPN) at my job who has been a nurse of about 20yrs. And she looks as if she is bitting socks daily. I want to have a career in which I'm happy. I don't want to go into this direction if its not worth it. So is it really all that bad?
