Hello all, I'm glad to find that some people are able to speak their minds as far as their true feelings about nursing. One thing you ALL should know is. You obviously can't be in someone else's mind when they are expressing whether or not they like something. You have to really know yourself. I KNOW I don't like nursing anymore and I've only had my license a year. It's great to see all this encouragement now, I(trying to convince people to stay in nursing) but for some of us, it's a little too late. I'ved worked ER, corrections, and for an agency. Was I in each one long enough? Probably not-but by who's standards? If I don't like something, I know I don't. I am in a position though where I can be picky and don't necessarily 'have' to work. But if you don't like something, don't do it. Don't feel pressured. If you need a little confidence booster, then you come on allnurses because the majority of people on here won't support you if you decide it isn't for you. You'll get the answers like ones that have been said such as....you'll find butt heads wherever you go so it doesn't matter the job you have....blah blah blah. You know what true nurses do?They listen and I HEAR you when you say you are depressed, sick, and hate to go to work...I don't think that is new nurse jitters. So if you feel nursing isn't, do what YOU want to do. And at least know you have one person who feels your pain.....
Good luck to all...
Kimmie
