OK, so my 1st post was titled, "Is it worth it". Of course it is. The best thing I got out of the tremendous mistakes & regrets is that I got sober & my life is better now than it has ever been.
My concerns are, when you finish completing the diversion program, finding a job seems so hard. and then to work with the same judgemental group you started out with. Nurses are notorious for belittling patients, labeling them as "frequent flyers", drug seekers & so on. I have also read on forums some comments that were made by nurses. Something like , "you all make our jobs so much harder, why dont you find something else to do". We all know they are out there. So this is what I struggle with. Do I really want to get back into the backstabbing same group of people I couldnt understand to begin with. We all know they eat there young & it doesnt seem to change. My entire career I could never figure out why a bunch of women couldnt treat each other with more respect. I always enjoyed working with the male nurses. they were all about getting the job done, helping each other out & leaving work at work. So I end this with, is it really worth it. I'm considering going back to school for some other health related career. Not sure which but maybe a change would be the best choice. It seems like you all really struggle with jobs & peers. Am I wrong??
