Nusing is just like any other job, there will be good days and there will be not so good days. The difference is on the good days you will be helping people through the most difficult parts of their lives and you will go home fulfilled, smiling and ready to tackle another day. On the not so good days you will be helping people through the most difficult parts of their lives and you will walk to your car and sit sobbing for 30 minutes because things did not go as planned when you woke up this am. As nurses we are exposed to more human tragedy then should be allowed but we are also exposed to the best moments in a person's life. All of this can happen within minutes of eachother making for a very rough ride on the emotional roller coaster. It takes its toll on everyone. But for the most part your good days will outnumber the bad and you will come back refreshed each day. I have taken comfort in the few and far between thanks yous and the smiles in which words need not follow. Good luck with your career and welcome to nursing.
