Hey girls and guys. I am a career changer, already have a 4 year degree in business, looking to get my BSN and my RN (maybe). Can some of the RN's out there specifically tell me what they do during they day? I have heard mixed results on what RN's acutually do during the day and i am starting to steer away from the field. I dont feel like going through 3 more years of school if i have to empty bedpans and colostomy bags all the time, do RN's have to do this stuff? I really like helping people and i love medicine but i dont think i can do that all the time. I am havent shadowed an RN yet because of HIPPA rules and i dont think i would actually get a good idea of what they do anyways for that reason. There is a level one trauma teaching hospital here in my town im interested in but what would an RN in say the ICU or maybe even med/surg do during the day? Be specific as possible if you could. I greatly appreciate the help. thank you.
