The workload totally depends on where you work. You really need to experiment and find out what's right for you. Personally, I like the fast pace of the ER.
A lot of doctors think their you-know-what doesn't stink because they are "better" than us. You just have to let it slide. Honestly, though, I think I've met more biotchy old nurses than doctors.
I don't know what the starting pay is where you are, but I can't imagine it's less than $20 which, to me, is definitely decent to start. And one good thing about nursing is how fast you gain seniority (and move up the pay scale). Plus with the massive nursing shortage, you can really negotiate & get what you want.
Wishing you the best!
PS What's the ADN program!?
