medical jobs

I am a veteran nurse of 15 years. I work with nurses that eat their OWN.
We have a charge nurse that can’t handle pressure and the way to survive is to divert attention from yourself. I’M NOT LIKE THAT! I don’t “rat” on others, but I have been the object of “ratting out” at times. [...]

Hi everyone.
I’m not a nurse, but I am looking at the profession. I’ve seen so many posts here about how horrible it is, but I’ve also seen some people that say they enjoy their job. If I was going to be a nurse, I think I’d try to work in a nursing home.

I used to be a pretty happy, laid back person. Now I am a miserable nervous wreck. I directly attribute it to nursing. I have been an RN for almost 2 years and I hate it more than I could ever say. It is the worst thing I have ever decided to do in my life.
