Hello,
I am new to this webiste and I have been reading ALOT on it lataly because I am a PCA in a hospital right now on a surgical unit and in nursing school and I know how busy it can get and frankly, its nice to come home and relate to people on here. Makes me think I am not the only one out there who is stressed!:-)
However...lataly Ive been reading these posts and I have been coming home from work stressed everynight. I am starting to rethink my decision as a nurse. I mean some days are great and I feel like this is what I want to do, but other times im nervous to even go into work and I get so frusterated that I cant give the best care because I have 100 other things to do. My question is do you think I should change my major while I still have the time? Do you think a career in radiotechnology or something in the health field just not nusring would be better? I read your posts and it seems like everyone has bad days all the time and that their health is suffering because of all the stress. I feel so bad for these nurses and I admire every one of you. But i dont want to go through life unhappy.
On hte other hand if i change my major i feel like Ill be so sad and defeated, i havnt even given it a try yet really. I dont know just thought id see what ya'll think!:) Thanks..
