Hi...while I'm also working on my pre-reqs and not a nurse, I have had similar experiences as you with current nurses. I know that I am excited & am enjoying all my classes. I THINK that I will feel this way in clinicals also. I understand that nursing is a stressful job & that burn out occurs. On the positive side, I do have a friend who is an RN and was in the NICU for the past 5 years or so. She needed a change & switched to the OR. She loves it & feels as if she's in a whole "new" job. That is what I'm counting on for myself. When burnout occurs, looking into other opportunities. Good luck to you & don't let anyone make your decision for you!
