One very rewarding career and nursing I’ve found to be mental health, psych nurse, addiction and homelessness. I work in a crisis center that helps population experience, insane, experiencing homelessness, mental illness, and addiction, and sometimes all of them combined. It’s a true way to understand human nature and if you are a nurse in human behavior nursing is your calling challenging very rewarding working with The mind
I'm a home health and hospice nurse recently just hospice due to company changes. I love my job because I get to reach people in their comfort zone and teach and share love and conversation to caregivers and patience and rural Mississippi. When I go to work my patience and patient caregivers are happy to see me which makes my job not feel like a job.

I know its "run of the mill," and "where everyone starts out," but I guess I just love the "go go go" of it.
I start my night at 7pm, get reportl look up my patients, and answer call lights/introduce my self until 8pm. Then I start my med pass and evening dressing changes etc., and before I know it, its 10pm and I need to hurry up and finish because I'll be picking up 2 more patients at 11pm.
At 11pm I get report on those 2 patients and then start my assessments on them so they aren't too upset that I woke them so late. Sometimes, I will wait if I know they will need to be toileted or turned.
Between doing that, and answering lights, helping my co-workers , and charting, before I know it, its 4am and need to prep on my morning meds and finish up my chariting.
Then between 5-7am is passing meds and morning cares again. And I'm giving report on my 6-8 patients from 7-730am.
And thats nights I'm not charge, which I usually am so throw in some extra responsobilities, aswering the nurses station phone as much as possible, and attending a staffing meeting at 1:30am in there, and I swear that the night literally flies by.
All that is on days that nothing out of the ordinary happens, everyones patient's are stable, and there are no rapids or codes. Those make it go even faster.
But I don't just love it because it goes by fast. I love it because I get to practice a wide variety of skills, see a variety of conditions. I have a patient right now that is the oldest known person in the world with his form of cystic fibrosis. You get to see and do some really cool $h!t. And some not so cool $h!t, and lots of actual $h!t, but its all part of the package and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nursing is a tough job. Violence in the workplace against nurses by patients is becoming very common. Please think very hard before you enter Nursing school.

I work in telemedicine and remotely. I enjoy it about 95% of the time. Why/when I don’t is because of nasty people on the phone with me. My job is challenging and I don’t have to ‘keep’ a patient for 12 hours! I’ve been doing this job since 2005.
