1. I take walks and make sure to get fresh air throughout the day. 2. Patience!

I can definitely understand where your coming from. I was a LPN for 10 years before finishing an AS degree. I hated every minute of it. I thought of changing, but I couldn't think of what else I wanted do. Plus, I had a family that depended on me. Getting that AS degree was the best thing I ever did for my career. It rekindled what I loved about the profession of caring. It opened doors so that I could find my place in it. Take it from me, keep going! I've stair stepped myself to a MSN, and yes, it was well worth it. Now if your heart takes you somewhere else, by all means, go that way. Don't be a nurse as a default. The patients pay for those decisions and they know you don't want to be there. Good luck in whatever you decide :-)
