Hi everyone, This is my situation. I'm a graduate registered nurse who finishes her graduate program in 2 weeks. I did a medical, surgical and emergency rotation. I need some career advice. I cannot stand nursing. i continue to beat myself up over this. I spent 3 years at uni and have a hecs debt close to $20,000. I loved studying nursing I was a high distinction student, Dux of my graduating class. basically, when I'm at work I feel like scum. I feel no appreciation from anyone. Patients yell at you, patients family yell at you, your management yell at you and rarely have I heard a thanks. I feel no job satisfaction because we are always too busy to provide appropriate care to our patients. I couldn't even feed my palliative patient her whole meal as I kept getting pulled away by other allied health professionals. Everyone has an opinion of how we provide our care as nurses, yet no one cares for our opinion. in addition, I know it's what I've signed up for but I cannot stand shift work. I have no control over my life, I have to fight for my annual leave. My sister got married last year it took me 3 mangers and 6 months before it was approved. ive never been a short tempered angry and tired person like I am now. I am always run down. I see lots of divorsed overweight 40 year old nurses. I'm scared to become one of those!! I think in kill give one other hospital a go but if it's all the same I don't think I'll last!
