Published

What does your day consist of on average tasks wise? I am considering this field in health care but of course I have my worries of the unkown so if someone could please reply :)

Thanks!! Have a great day

Specializes in SICU, trauma, neuro.

Don't sell yourself short! Nursing school is challenging for sure, but a big part of the battle is drive and hard work. :up:

Thanks for your support and encouragement! Im going to go for it :D

Don't forget oral care with every turn lol ;P

It all sounds like something I would love to do and would work extremely hard for to always do my best for co workers, patients and myself. However I feel like I am not smart enough to go to the next step. Right now I am a national certified medical assistant, national certified phlebotomy technician and nurses aide in Ohio and just transferred that to PA. Even though I can obtain those is becoming an RN something I can do?

You can't go by everyone on here , it can give you some insight but every hospital and patient load is different , my first bit of advice that most new nurses lack Is the love and respect of his/ her patient , I don't care how bad your day is or how rude some may seem , you uphold your oath to love and help them , DONOT be in it just for money . It's has it's rewards and you will find days you want to give up. Also, you will see things that don't make sense and seem unfair . Your main thing is to show compassion , respect , and work hard to get them on the road to recovery ! There's a lot involved. But you can do more research and visit some hospitals to get an idea of what an average day may be , which can change at any second!! Good luck and remember , DONOT do it for money , do it to help others! Most in 20s and early 30's act like teenagers and don't have the maturity level to be a nurse or the compassion and it's sad , so please don't fall into that category !
