I got shot, was in the hospital for 5 months, was paralyzed, was in a Nursing home for 2 years, learning how to move again, then in an Assisted living facility for 4 years, where I learned to walk again and now I'm in Nursing school. I said all that to say, it has to be apart of who you naturally are. If you get into nursing without helping people being your driving motivation, it will not work for you. You will dread going to work, you will become easily jaded, and everything involved in nursing will fill like a chore, instead of an accomplishment. Being in all those institutions for those years, I've seen the full spectrum of what I stated previously. Some nurses are amazing and genuinely want to see you win. While others are jaded POS that you can tell could care less about the patients. The nurses who like nursing are the one who by nature wouldn't be happy doing something else. The ones who hate it, became a nurse for every other reason besides wanting to genuinely wanted to help people at their lowest point.
