A Nursing Nightmare
Angry patients. We’ve all experienced them.
Has this (or something similar) ever happened to you?
I didn’t really want to be a nurse. In fact, I used to curse my mother for pushing me towards an accelerated nursing program. I disliked the courses and struggled through Chemistry, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology.
As a fellow nurse, I am sure you are as aware of the fact that our profession is often in the ‘spotlight’. Our work involves daily interaction with diverse groups of people, their families and entire communities. We speak to, care for and teach others every single shift. The public looks up to nurses; as we know we continuously get voted as the most trusted profession. 
So, you are on the hunt for a new nursing job. Or maybe, you recently graduated from nursing school, and are ready to enter the job market. Either way, it is time to show up and do your best. You want to rock the interview, get offered a job, and start out in a fresh and exciting nursing career.
