Nursing, on the other hand, is a lot less stressful. My sister is loving it. I think the key to that is getting into a field you enjoy. |
I forgot to mention about what you said about doctors never being home...All the docs I work with say that is there biggest regret...not really being there to see their kids grow up...and their is several docs that I know that are really depressed - I mean getting mental health care and even one of them being hospitalized for suicidal ideations
. It is especially the ones that are older and there kids have grown up and they look around and wonder where the time went. I commend your husband for sticking in there because we do need good doctors and I wish you guys the best.
