I understand what you are saying, I have been an RN for 21 years now and sometimes I wonder what in the world was I thinking, but then I think back to all the good things that have come from my career as a nurse. True, sometimes it is frustrating and the work can be very demanding. Nursing is a great profession. We as nurses can make it better. We just have to learn to quit eating our young and take care of ourselves. It seems to be a lesson we haven't learned very well. Whether we are LPN's, RN's, BSNs, etc. we should take care of each other and try to get new nurses in the field and make working conditions better for all.
