What is a Nurses job like in a hospital?

Just curious if nurses like their job?

  • I would like to hear from nurses about their job.. and what they like/don't like about it?? Thanks.. I have thought about majoring in nursing, I haven't been to school in years.. and just wondering if I have what it takes.. and if it's what I want to do??

  • Answer:

    Army nurse specialized in intensive care. Best descision i ever made. i would do it all over again. 1. you will always have a job. ALWAYS. and anywhere in the world you would want. 2. there are many many different specialities and focuses so if you dont like one, you may like another type of nursing. some nurse specialities make more than MDs. CRNAs make 6 figures to start. 3. shift work. yes, i like it. there is a lot to be said for being able to run errands or go shopping on say tues morning instead of the weekend with everyone else. nice to have 4 or mroe days off in a row and still make your hours. if you dont like hosp politics there are also off shifts. all jobs have politics. 4. i like my patient population as an army nurse. if you chose nursing, it's a great choice. but get a 4 year RN BSN. this way you have opportunity to move up and more options.

As a nurse I worked in the emergency room of a big hospital in Canada. It was really stressful dealing with the number of patients each shift. I liked being a nurse because it was never a dull moment, literally there are lots of areas to specialize in. And you get to help people. What I dislike about nursing as a profession is, first off, time. You never have enough time to do everything that you want. You find yourself running short of time and only able to give the most essential aspects of your care and health teaching and not do everything you feel that you should. So, that’s the main drawback with nursing. Another drawback with nursing, from a male perspective, is that you work in a largely female dominated profession. And, as a male, you really do have to fine-tune your communication skills. If I could do it over again, it would be a NO. When I applied to medical school with a nursing degree I was 'looked down upon' for not having a BS in like bio or chem. PS: If you want first hand experience shadow a triage nurse for a shift, you'll find out quick if its for you or not. Good Luck,

over-worked and underpaid. I like dealing with my co-workers and the patients, but the hospital politics suck.
