I think I still like nursing. One of my favorite things to do is feeding the patient, I like opening their food setting up their tray and if they need to be spoonfed I like to do that too. It's one of my favorite things of nursing. I also enjoy hanging blood, hanging TPN looking at their labs and making sure their electrolytes are not imbalance and then if they are, calling the doctor to get them replaced. I like combing and washing a patient hair who haven't been washed in weeks. I particularly like shaving and cutting people's hair that needs to it. So what do I hate about nursing? Demanding patients, demanding supervisors, rude people, and attitude problems. If we didn't have to deal with all the attitude of extra paperwork I think we'd all be a lot happier. I almost forgot, I also enjoy giving people their PRN medications and seeing them feel more comfortable after I have alternated medications to make them feel better than the previous shift that hasn't been able to get them more comfortable. Just a couple things I still love about my job.
