Thanks so much, after I posted and re read it, kind of sounded like I was looking for an "easier" job and thats not what I wanted to portray. I am not looking for anything easier just something that I can be passionate about and love!!!! I want to look forward to going to work and find some motivation in what I am doing... You know what I mean??? Your post has certainly given me hope. Thanks again!!!!

I have been reading some posts on here by psych nurses and have any of you all ever worked med-surg with a patient load of umteen hundred and you just hate the thoughts of going to work, and think nursing is just not for you? I have always thought Psych nursing would be interesting to work and did very well during my clinical roatation when I was in school. My instructor even told me that I should become a psych nurse. I really think for my own health and sanity I need to change specialties but how do I decide what is right for me? Can any of you tell me your experience if you changed specialties and went into psych? Also there are even so many types of psych patients, geriatric, adoloscent, child.... I could go on and on... Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
