What can you do to jump start it? Well... Take a look at what you're working for. You will be able to comfort people in all stages of distress. Either in an ER/ED setting where lives hand in the balance or in an L&D ward where new lives are just beginning. The docs make their rounds, discuss dx and tx with the patients, make every attempt to soothe them, then move on to the next pt. YOU are the one who will be there for 8, 10, 12 hours or more to bring some beacon of hope to ill or injured people's lives. Or, how about thinking of the road ahead. As mentioned, you can work toward any rewarding specialty. NP, cool... Nurse Anesthetist, cool... (or you can remain an RN generalist and reap just as much emotional reward). In my very humble opinion, you may just be going through the "blahs" and be a bit bored with school right now. Same thing happened to me in X-ray school years ago. Once I got out of school though, something clicked; I understood that I was a professional caregiver. Made me feel pretty good about myself and what I was doing. I hope that you will stick with it and have that same "click" that I did.
