Catalin, I totally understand where you're coming from and feel similarly. I think what keeps me in it is, frankly, financial stability and also support from coworkers and friends/family. Sure, nursing isn't the highest paying job compared to other fields, but some facilities/hospitals do offer good benefits. Also, when I work with nice patients who are appreciative of the care I give, I do feel like I'm making a difference. However, nursing (especially bedside care) can be a very difficult field because it is often taxing on one's physical/mental/emotional well-being. Having a good manager can also make or break your day. Is there something about nursing that you do enjoy or keeps you working another day? If bedside nursing is too stressful, maybe you can look into other nursing jobs like consulting or working with insurance/other health related companies that takes you away from direct contact with patients/their families. I must say that if you're really unhappy working as a nurse in various settings, I would consider looking into other fields that might interest you more/you might feel more content with. Best of luck with everything! ?
