  1. which is better

    ksc0723 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I don't pretend nursing was my first career choice. Now that I am a nurse, I know I chose this profession for the short term as a stepping stone to something else down the road. I am not sure what...

    ksc0723 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks!!! I am having a hard time determining if it's working NOC's that is causing this. Do you know if working nights can cause someone to feel this way mentally, emotionally, and

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes. I have a huge problem with this. I feel like I have all of this knowledge to share but feel more like a glorified waitress. Every time before I leave a room I always ask "Is there anything else...

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Very interesting. I definitely have never felt content. I don't even know what that would look like. I almost feel like that is a bad thing. Like if I were content, I would see that as a failure...

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    I actually did that, went to a career counselor when I bailed on therapy after graduation. I learned a lot of what I already knew about myself. But, again, I could feel myself forcing my path because...

    ksc0723 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Even now as I think about it, I can't decide if I just don't have the patience for any of it anymore. The more I have worked with people in a variety of settings the more I have become pessimistic...
