Thanks everyone for your responses! I'm glad I'm not alone! I think I'll do what a couple of you have done...either stop coming on to this site, or just avoid the venting. Like A Blooming Rose said, I want to be excited as well! I know that once we become full-fledged nurses, it won't be a field of roses...but at least I want to be encouraged and do as well as I can in Nursing School. I understand that every job has it's pitfalls..so I understand the need to vent. I feel the same about my current job...oh the office politics that go on around here! Thanks again!

Hello Everyone! I just started Nursing School last week at CSULA. I'm both excited and nervous. I'm working full-time plus going to school full-time. I know, I know...I've already been advised that I either need a PT job, or should quit working altogether! Unfortunately, I can't afford not to work. After reading several posts here, I get the sense that there are a lot of people that are miserable in the Nursing field. And, that makes me very, very nervous. Am I choosing the right field, or should I just quit before I get too far into it? I'm a really compassioniate, kind and hard-working individual that wants to become a Pediatric Nurse. I'm up for the challege, but it seems I see more complaints on this site than networking and collaboration in this field. Any advice or comments would be helpful! Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond!
