Scaring me!

A little about myself, I am a 41 yr old male that is a maintenance manager (so I work mostly with men) right now but for the last 10 yrs has been interested in nursing. I am starting my basic classes now (Intro to Chem, Algebra, etc) and stumbled across this website a couple weeks ago. After browsing through here I can honestly say that the world of nursing seems much more frightening than first anticipated. I dont mind challenges such as heavy workloads but reading about all the political crap along with all the drama with peers is kinda scary. Anyway, just thought I would give my 2 cents and look forward to chatting with some of you in the future...

Thanks

    I agree with the others-- the drama, gossip and nasty politicking aspect of the job are over-represented here on the boards. I get along fine (most of the time) by just refusing to play that way. Usually the dysfunctional nutjobs come along one at a time and don't last too long. ;)

    It sounds scary now but as you get into your education you will find that it gets easier. The best thing that you can have in nursing is common sense. If you have that, you will do fine.
