Amy, I am right there with you. Currently I am at work, sitting in front of my monitor which I do for hours on end having next to no personal interactions. It really SUCKS! Is this what I face for the next 25 years before retirement?! I am working on my pre-reqs right now to go back to school for nursing. Of course, my parents/family members/friends all question my sanity about this decision because of the hard work that nurses have to do. But, I am looking forward to the challenge. I am sure there will be many gross things, but also some really fascinating things to learn. I am in A&P right now and am rather amazed at the body and its functions at this point. My recommendation is call in for a sick-day (mental health day) and have a scheduled appointment to job shadow a nurse. You can get a good idea pretty quickly what they face.
