wow.. i never exspect to leave untill at least 1/2 an hour past my shift sometimes up to a couple hours. and thats pretty common place on my floor

i am at that point were pretty soon i wont be considered a new grad. i have been working on my floor for 8 months. i really like my hospital i think it is great, i also think highly of the people i work with, and my nurse manager..... but i work on a post op back surgery floor. i see the same pt again and again, most pt leave at their base line +surg pain. i push so many drugs i feel like a drug dealer. i dont see the evedence based practice for even doing back surgery most of the time. i hate it i hate when my pt ask when will they get better and i have no answer. i try to rationilize it and say that i am only there to help the pt get threw this tough time now, but its hard when i am against most of these surgeries.. i feell like i want to do something more with my career but i dont know what and im just feeling really stuck right now.
