Really need help deciding if this is for me!

Hi all,

I've been toying with the idea of going to nursing school for a few months now. I'm starting to sway the other way though after hearing of all the problems RNs face at work (understaffed, mandatory OT, high patient load, gossip, getting written up for everything, unsupportive co-workers, how hard nursing school is. So I've thought of a few other careers, and I figure since many of you work with other healthcare professionals, you can give me opinions of these careers. I would love to work in a hospital.

1. Child Life Specialist

2. Medical Social Worker (Pediatrics)

3. Physical Therapy Asst (Peds)

4. Occupational Therapy Asst (Peds)

5. Radiology Tech

6. Licensed Counselor- Bereavement, Grief

I have a BS in Psych and love the idea of working with pediatric populations (I have two darlings of my own).

Please help!!!

Thanks!! ;)

Rhonda
