What is the toughest part of nursing?

Am curious - if you had to pick one thing related to the nursing practice that is the toughest, what would it be?

Get into administration, or on committees!  It takes you away from patient care somewhat when you step into management roles, but then you can enact a lot of change, probably not everything you want, but a lot!  Best decision I made in my nursing career. Lasted 16 years until it was too much, but a lot of change happened.

Then I am sad that your organization is not taking advantage of the front line knowledge and expereince. I was lucky.
