I am someone looking to possibly join the nursing field however if I was to join it my main and only interest would be in ob/gyn or maybe the nicu. I have heard that nurses have to put up with a lot of stuff on the regular basis, and I was just wondering how true this was for nurses who are in the field that I am interested in. I'm someone who is rather quiet and shy when you first get to know me and sometimes can be very easily hurt and maybe not able to handle mean spirited or I'll-willed people, so a lot of my friends and family have warned me against being a nurse. However I have yet to hear from someone who actually is a nurse. So I would really love to know what is you guys exactly have to put up with, and if you think someone of my disposition could handle it or not.
