If you are willing and able to handle being verbally abused by doctors, co-workers, administration, patients,& patient's family members, work long hours for little pay, no breaks, not even for lunch, not receive any respect,be unappreciated,be treated like you don't have a brain, have little time for personal, family life, and lots of fights with you're spouse about all the time you spend at work, this is the career for you. I love what this job, I wouldn't do anything else, could do without the arguements with my boyfriend though. Yes i would recommend nursing as a career.

I have been an LPN for 10 years, I am returning to school in the fall to pursue my BSN, and I pray for GOD to help me not turn out like most of the RN's with a BSN that I have had the displeasure of working with. I work on a rehab/acute care unit, and oh my!!! I'M THE CHARGE NURSE. I made the decision to further my education because I love what I do and would like to heard by the general nursing public. It's sad that most of those with a BSN don't realize how important all nursing roles are. We are supposed to be working together for the good of the patient. I have yet had a patient in pain ask if I was a nurse with a diploma or a degree. And for the elitest, it's best the you aren't "bedside nurses", the patients need a little compassion not alot of attitude.
