  1. First job

    BettyBoop01 replied to AnewRN2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I feel the same way and I am a few months in. It is very discouraging. I keep wondering why I left my former career to put myself through this torture. People keep telling me to just suck it up...

    BettyBoop01 replied to Powerof3jlw's topic in General Nursing

    BettyBoop01 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing
