What's your view?

I've been a nurse going on 4 yrs now and I have not found a job I truly like. I've tried psych, med surg and ambulatory nursing. There's not much you can do with a BSN besides be a nurse.

Do you still like being a nurse? If so, what specialty or area?

    I'm closing in on the end of my Nursing career, and it's as a Hospice Nurse.

    Hospice has its own set of challenges, and honestly isn't everyone's cuppa tea, but I love it.

    Frankly, I'm too old to do hospital floor nursing anymore. I hate 12 hour shifts, I can't safely go 8-10 hours without peeing anymore (and Depends look uncomfortable lol), I actually get to eat lunch now (and can take a full hour to do it!), and I'm too damn crusty to suffer the high concentration of fools found in all levels of the hospital hierarchy.

    Truthfully, if the only Nursing job available was in a hospital, I would go and apply at WalMart.

    LOL, this reminded of the episode on Grey's Anatomy, when Lexie put on a pair of Depends to assist in a surgery that was going to take many, many hours.
