Hi Nurses!! I am a student working as a nurses aid at a pediatric hospital. I am in LOVE with my job. My patients and my coworkers are phenomenal! Whenever I discuss my job with non-medical friends and family, EVERYONES response is just "Isn't it so hard/sad to work with sick kids?" I was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a response for these questions. Kids are so resilient and, yes, some aspects of my job are sad, but more often than not, our floor is a very happy place and I don't know how to portray that to people. Thank you so much for your help!
