I believe you can eat an elephant one bite at a time. If it's in your heart and you know what your weak links are-hit the start button and tackle things strategically. You can learn A+P, maybe as a visual learner. If one book is confusing-look at another, search you-tube. Do it, follow your dream. We need people that are nurturers as nurses. Go for it.

Your not crazy, your right. you went into nursing to use your BRAIN. No offense ever to ancillary staff but that is what ancillary staff is for, to have optimal pt care, safer pt care. This isn't happening, nurses are not only bodily drained-and at risk for physical injuries, but you are mentally drained too. You pay and the PT pays. I work ER and am spent after every shift. I love my job but it doesn't matter what facility you work at-never enough help. Nursing is so tough-so draining. Many other ways to sweat and make a paycheck. So if any went in for the money- you'll be disappointed- much of a lot of other things to pick from that won't beat you up. You are allowed to vent and yes those jobs are part of our jobs but they should not take us away from our primary tasks to care for our pt's.
