Is this field truly as terrible as people are saying?


Karin Zonneveld

Question

I've been considering going to nursing school, but research has made me hesitant. Many people express resentment towards the field, citing issues like patient and family aggression, coworker bullying, management mistreatment, physical and mental health deterioration, PTSD, and compassion fatigue, all for low pay. If this is true, are there any reasons to pursue a nursing career?

Hi Karin, I would say nursing can be just as rewarding as it can be difficult. There is also an immense need for nurses, so I would encourage anyone interested in the field to go for it! With PRN nursing, you can stay in control of your schedule, work settings, and income, easing many of the challenges that come with the field. I hope you decide to pursue nursing! 🙌
