I apologize if this has been posted before, however I wasn't able to find it by searching or looking through the forum "pages." If there are other relevant threads please post, however I'm aware of the "why nursing", "retire nursing?", "worth it" threads. I've read many, many threads and I haven't seen one about this.

I was wondering because of the many posts I read of users/members writing how they wouldn't recommend nursing, they're leaving/left, some mention they wouldn't do it again, etc. Coupled with this the seemingly increasing problems with patients, their families, doctors, paperwork, administration, etc. I know it's not all negative, people tend to be negative and that especially comes out in a medium like this (online forums). However, I want to get a general consensus of what nurses think.

Some background; I'm a student nurse and I was attracted to nursing because of people/patient care/"bedside manor".

Thanks
