I am soo sorry you feel that way, Nursing is a call not a job. You should reconsider working in other areas of a hospital setting. I don't blame you at all, I could not and will not work in a place like that. That's why all my experienced has been in the ER, ICU, PACU, TEL and Burn unit. At the end of your shift you'll feel great that you help someone in need and not feel just like a body, cleaning rears, pushing bed pan and emptying urinal...Nursing is more than that, but a lot of employers try to use us as nurse assistance or slaves. Do what would make you happy, something that you could feel proud of what you do day in and day out, and not just a job that puts food on the table. Good luck and change jobs...you'll see, you will like it..I promised!

I've been an LPN over 35 years, where all my experienced have been in the ER, ICU, Tel, PACU and the Burn Unit. Just retired from the US Army and been looking every where for a travel job, but all I've found claimed to hire LPN, but don't have any positions available. This is what I have, 2 LPN licensed, Washington and Florida, EMT, BCLS, ACLS, PALS, EKG tech and IV certified...and still can not find a place to utilize my skills. Are we a dying bread? Anyone with info, please let me know. Have a blessed day.
