You know I have had several different jobs in the last 20 years and have found that ANYWHERE one works...the same BS happens..gossip, negativity...BS..doesn't matter what field..retail, sales, healthcare, insurance, teaching. SO good luck in finding an area that you will NOT find any of what is discouraging you from pursuing what was once your big interest. It seems that you haven't checked this board out enoguh to find all the positive and supportive nurses and posts. Keep searching..you'll find loads of them!! Good Luck in your search!:)
