2. INFPs where are you working in nursing?

   N51308 replied to N51308's topic in General Nursing

   At a crossroads professionally. I wonder what is the best fit in nursing for my personality type INFP. Does anyone else find that the busier units Telemetry, Critical Care, and the ER just drain you and prefer dealing with smaller groups of people o...

    N51308 replied to N51308's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your responses. I'd feel different if I felt appreciated and part of the "team." But the majority of the nurses don't appreciate the CNAs or myself. More than anything I was really just curious if anyone had this experience happen to t...
