Hot take: new nurses hit with reality

I have been the guy to be there for new nurses, always. But I have to say, I love seeing them get hit with reality.

Let me explain.

I cannot stand the glamourized idea nursing has for young college and high school kids. They think it’s a dream job and it’s all perfect patient scenarios. Then they work for 3 months and realize oh…people are awful, management is rough, there’s staffing issues, and everything is gross and this isn’t what they make it seem like.

I just wish one day people as a whole would realize holy shit this job is god awful why would anyone do this. Like I wish for a complete overhaul of the nursing standards and healthcare systems. Complete restart. Sorry for the negativity but there’s a reality here that needs addressed and I need to know if other people feel the same.
