Many people really like the job, and many others work for a living.
The most common thing I hear is, I've studied nursing for so many years, I don't know what else I can do besides nursing.
Talking about the reasons why I don't want to be a nurse, there are really many:
The workload is heavy, tedious and boring;
On some occasions, I don't get the respect I deserve;
The irrationality and intentional difficulties of some patients;
The lack of a fixed vacation date, and not enough companionship for the family;
The pay isn't good;
The risk of being beaten and killed in the medical disputes that occur once in a while;
The night shift is harmful to your health;
All kinds of germs invariably enter your respiratory tract or the mucous membrane of your skin, and needle-stick injuries will be at risk of being infected.
Talking about the reasons for wanting to be a nurse:
Dreams;
The salary is still able to support themselves, job stability, not afraid of losing their jobs (unless they have made some nursing mistakes);
Their own ability is not enough, there is no ability to jump out of the system; do for a long time, accustomed to it, do not want to have a big change;
Take good care of the patients, the patient's healing of the patient's thank you, can make you get a lot of money, and the patient is very happy, so you can get a good job.
Take care of patients, the patient's recovery when you thank you, can make you get the satisfaction that ordinary people can not experience;
Believe that the health care environment will one day change for the better, believe that the nursing career will one day turn around.
There isn't a nurse who isn't working hard and thinking about quitting at the same time.
One of the questions on Knowledge is
"What was the one moment that made you not want to be a nurse?"
One user answered, "There isn't a single moment, every day, that I don't want to be."
Many people want to get into hospitals as soon as they graduate from school, imagining that they will be able to realize their self-worth after work, saving lives and making money. When you first start working, you are still full of enthusiasm and passion, every day's work is full of sense of mission and responsibility, however, with the passage of time, the work content is increasingly repetitive, endless night shifts, endless exams, coupled with tense relations between doctors and patients, when the blood and passion has long been worn out.
There is a formula:
The main body of the nurses who left is not the new nurses, but the N2-N3 nurses who have been working for more than 5 years and have finished their nursing leave.
These nurses are more aware of what they want after a period of time, have a strong will for self-realization, and are willing to take the initiative to look for new career opportunities.
Because of their mature career skills and light burden, other hospitals or other industries are willing to accept them, so their departure rate is at the forefront.
So, whether you are a nursing student who has not yet graduated or a nurse who is already employed, ask yourself the question, "Why do you want to be a nurse?"
If this is just a spur of the moment choice and you find yourself unable to cope with it after work, then I might suggest you to think again about other careers;
But if you really love nursing, or have already found a sense of familiarity, fulfillment, and value in this job.
