In this tough economic time I'm so grateful to have a full time job. However, there are just days like today I rather stay in bed. I often have to remind myself of the rewards of working and things I can do with the money I will make. Here are just a few things that gives me that extra motivation to get up and get ready for work:
1) I need to work to first pay my bills
2) I'm getting married in 6 months and have a TON of things to pay off for the wedding
3) There are so many new grads and experienced nurses without jobs
4) I actually like helping people
Okay, so what gives you that extra umph to roll out of bed and get to work?
Don't want to get fired until I magically become an internationally famous, independently wealthy sex symbol. And mortgage. And I kinda need to eat. But that's all.
I work because I have to. Would much rather be traveling. There is so much "DRAMA" in nursing. I get so tried of rude co-workers, supervisors who don't care, know it all doctors, state regulations, compaining family members . I use to love nursing when I first started, a little burned out, trying a new field of nursing now. So, far things are better, will see how it goes.

Pretty much what everyone else says, because they pay me to do so.
