I have been nursing for five years plus now. I started when I was 42 after fifteen years taking care of others in lesser capacities, ie home support, health care aide, psw, emerg team attendant etc... I still like my job but my attitude has changed quite a bit. Thank god I didn't start with some noble goal like the nightengale pledge. I find that we are doing more with less every year. I still have the walking pts who walk out of this ward with a smile. Sometimes life here is fairly merciless for both pts and staff but we pull together and help each other. You have to laugh really.. it's a lifesaver.
