I always tell people not to go into nursing unless there is nothing else that will make you happy. There are so many problems in the field - overwork, lack of control over your job, stress from fears of liability, dealing with often unreasonable people like doctors and patients - that you must get great pleasure from helping people or it will not be worth it.
If you are a victim of self loathing, enjoy being used and abused, overworked, underappreciated, underpaid (compared to other professions), stressed out to the maximus, hey go for it!
I just finished working Friday/Saturday afternoon shifts taking care of really sick folks. I had only six patients which in reality doesn't sound like alot, but these patients are on a 'rehab' floor, but most will end up back in ICU or go to a nursing home. I tell all of the young folks I work with NOT to go into nursing. Our health care system is in shambles and is getting worse very quickly. If you are a caring nurse, it is very difficult to deliver the kind of care your patients need; but most hospital management is only concerned over numbers, not acuity of patients. Be a teacher or a therapist of some sort, avoid nursing like the plague!!
I went to college for 2 years for mechanical engineering (before I got pregnant) and I recently started taking classes to become an RN after reading in the paper that the army was outsourcing their engineers to save money. I can understand their need to save money, but if you're not safe with a government job, chances are (in my case, at least) a few years down the road more companies are going to jump on the bandwagon. So I started looking in the paper, and I figured they can't outsource nurses...not yet, at least. I've got two kids now and I need job security. Besides, I'm a bartender, so I'm used to late hours, long shifts, rude customers and egotistical managers, and I like talking to people all day, I think it will be fun. And there are so many different thing you can do. Where I live the starting salary for an RN is about $45,000, I can live with that. My mother-in-law was an RN and now she makes well over 6 figures selling medical supplies, so you never know where it could lead.
