What Is It Like Being A Nurse And Is It A GooD Job To Have?

You can check my previous answers about this subject, but essentially it has it's ups and downs just like any job.

One minute I am highly stressed and I hate my job, the next I love it.

To me it's not the kind of job you want if you expect to a) become rich and b) have a relaxing job.

You are always on the move and usually end up the punching bag for both the doctors and the patients. Your seem to be the one that is blamed if something goes wrong.

You have to have the ability to multi task and think on your feet. For sure not everyone can be a nurse and you will find that out very quickly once you are put into a hospital setting, either you thrive or you fail.

Good luck on what ever decision you make.

You are helping people but the pay is not to good unless you become a private nurse.!!!
