[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]come on nurse poster---stop making nursing seem like rocket science.  It's anything but.

[b]I went to nursing school after getting a biology undergrad degree and was BORED OUT OF MY MIND with nursing[/b].  Following doctor's orders day in and day out and not making ANY of my own decisions outside of maybe tritrating medication drips was mind numbing.  Sure, I liked the patient education part of things (and would sit with patients and their families for hours) and I agree I was the "eyes and the ears" of the physician and saved many a young physician's ass but ultimately you could have trained a robot to do my job. [b] I lasted 4 years as an inpatient nurse--and yes, I was at Hopkins--in the MICU, CCU and the ER.[/b]  
The most frustrating part of nursing to me was that I received about 1/10th of the education of the physicians I worked with.  I had a really desire to understand what was happening and all I had been given in nursin[/quote]

You worked in an ER and was "bored out of your mind"?  I call bullshit--this whole post reeks of it.  You were never a nurse.[/quote]
