Hi I'm curious about a lot of things having to do with nursing. I am thinking of going to college for nursing and I just have a few questions. I constantly hear that nurses stand all day, does this apply while charting? Or do you get to sit down while charting? Do you take that opportunity to eat a snack if you haven't gotten to eat lunch?do you stretch your feet while charting? How long does charting take you? at the moment I'm working in a factory earning 11 dollars an hour I often hear that nursing won't make you feel like you are rich or live more of a comfortable life where you can finally afford things you wanted and save money to travel. Working in a factory pretty much gave me a lot of strength to deal with stressful situations so I feel like I have worked the worst job anyone can ever work I come from a family who is basically poor I never got to have nice things in my life we have gone days witought eating and witought even being able to buy dish washing soap. I want to get out of that life and earn enough money to live more of a comfortable life
