| Nope...not a nurse...lol I'd personally think/guess, from my own experiences, that caring for and/or about people and/or animals is 'why' people might want also to get into such professions as nursing...not t'other way round. I could be wrong...

| Amen to that! My 1st 10 years were spend on the floor/telemetry...3 as a tech, 7 as a nurse. 7 more in SICU, now been In the ED for 8 years. Think I'm getting too old for that, too, and am back in SICU prn, too. When I grow up, though, I want to work with EMR systems and currently am on the team initiating an EMR at our little community hospital. Nod to Tntviper1...love the computer stuff! And yes, I think nurses are caretakers of not only our pets, but many of their husbands, too. Y'all know what I'm talking about...how many nurses do we know that are the sole breadwinner? I think my Huey takes care of me, though. He is my little furball of sanity that I come home to every day.

| Gives the phrase, "Pizz on you!" a whole new meaning!!! And to the CPhT, yes, you also get brownie points! You keep the world MOVING!!!! There are sooooo many areas of healthcare....each one of us finds our own niche, where we feel we have the most to contribute, and we all LOVE our work....We may get discouraged with WHERE we work, but we bounce back with unbridled enthusiasm when put in the right place, with the right docs, the right staff, managers, opportunities to learn and be heard, to make a change in the system, and have the most impact on our patients and their recovery....it is great! And as we get older, and we realize we have reached the fork in the road, where we have to let the "youngbloods" that are coming up behind us, step up and take over where we leave off, and we can be confident in their abilities to pull it off! You all learn your trade well....because WE are all going to be depending on YOU to keep us alive for as long as God intends!! YOU are going to be OUR advocates, standing up to doctors, as advocates for OUR well being! Dont let us down! I dont want to have to be laying in a hospital bed, worrying that the 22 year old resident is writing an order on that chart for medicine he thinks I need.....and he has the decimal in the WRONG place!!!! Please, I dont want to take my last breath, directing/teaching a doctor!!!! (I know all you ICU staff know EXACTLY what I am saying!!!!) Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 03-14-2013 at 09:17 AM. |

YT 2000 Club Member | I admire nurses! I am a retired teacher (34yrs) and my daughter, Lisa got her BSN from SDSU. She is working in the New Grad program. She works the 12 hour night shift 7pm to 7am. Wants days. It is a very tough job, understaffed and demanding. She hasn't decided what area she likes yet. She has done 6 mts oncology and is now 6 mts on the orthopedic floor. No time for dating, just eat, sleep and work. Again, I have high regards for nurses. You must be the blessing to the sick and you work so hard. Thank-you for your dedication! |

| My son graduates HS this year and is going to college to be a nurse. He is not sure what specialty he is interested in but has plenty of time. I am in law enforcement and my DH is a paramedic, so I have a lot of respect for nurses and anyone in public service it is a thankless job.
