It's just such heavy work, and lately I have been getting peed on, hit, over worked, to the point I throw up because I'm sick. And just simply disgusted, with how much there is to be expected of me to do, when I don't get the help that is needed. I have 20 + patients to myself. It is just too much

Because I'm scared I won't find a job that pays well in the end. It makes more sense to get an associate degree to make more than having to get a masters in psychology to make the same a nurse makes an hour.. you know?

I love psychology. In fact I would have went to school for that instead of nursing. But I opted out, because of the security of having a job, and it's a lot more schooling than nursing, to make the same amount. I was trying to do research on this but am confused and un sure. What type of psychology work is there in nursing that I could look into? Psychiatric nurse practitioner seems to be about the same as a psychiatrist.. I think. I don't know I am just confused

I have been a CNA for a year now. I am 20 years old and am so disgusted with this job. I started working at a care center but now I work at a hospital, and it doesn't change the way I feel about it. I honestly have no problem helping people. But I don't like doing personal care anymore. I am just worried that I will suck as a nurse? Should I drop out now? I don't know what to do anymore!!! I love helping people mentally. My ultimate goal was to become a Mental Health Nurse practitioner. but this kind of labor ( as a CNA) is killing me!
