I'm no , so I'll acknowledge I should never have taken the job of nurse on the midnight shift in a hospital emergency room. Not a single person in my family would my career decision, and maybe my family was right. I wasn't naive, I had no s about the difficulty of the work. I knew the emergency room would be tough, but I wasn't going to let that be a(n) . Still, I did start out more about helping the world than I am now, ten months later. I don't mean to that I've given up on nursing, becuase I haven't. However, when I first rushed a stretcher off an ambulance-as a(n) at the job, disappointment and regret had not yet started to my hopeful outlook.
I work at one of the biggest urban hospitals in the state. More often than not, each shift brings a series of injuries, caused by everytin from shootings to household accidents, but mostly by car crashes. One effect of my job has been to make me always wear a seat belt - I've seen first-hand the damage caused by the of a human head hitting a windshield.
Emergency-room workers seem to follow one of two routes. Either they become accustomed to the difficult sights and stay in the field for years, or they quickly burn out and find refuge in another line of work. I;m in the second category. Next week, I'm Applying for a job in a doctor's office.
