I often thought about going back to school for my RN but have come to the conclusion after years of working in a hospital that I am not cut out to deal with patients or doctors. Somebody would die, and it wouldn’t be of natural causes! I am in the medical field as an injury data analyst. My hat is off to you for having what it takes and you will always have a job.
Thanks, McLynnan. Believe me, I don’t always have what it takes. I’ve been on a hiatus for about 4 months, because I really needed a break from it. I’m about to go back, and I’m dreading it.
I have a love/hate relationship with being a nurse. It’s grueling work, but I also love being w/ people and trying to help them out. I don’t think there’s any other job quite like it, at least being an RN in the Er’s, hospital floors, etc. They say it’s close to combat stress, and I believe it.
