Why are nurses so tired and there are so many people in the nursing profession?

Anyone who has experienced the hardships of nursing work knows.

Many people really like this job, and many people make a living by working.

What I hear most is that I have studied nursing for so many years, and I don't know what else to do besides being a nurse.

There are many reasons for not wanting to be a nurse:

Heavy workload, tedious and boring;

On some occasions, they don't get the respect they deserve;

Some patients are unreasonable and deliberately make things difficult;

There is no fixed holiday date, and there is not enough time to accompany family members;

The salary is not high; Occasionally, there is a risk of being killed by a doctor;

Night shift for many years is harmful to health;

All kinds of germs enter your respiratory tract or skin mucosa invisibly, and there is a risk of infection when you prick the wound.

Speaking of reasons for wanting to be a nurse:

Dream;

Wages can also support themselves, work is stable, and they are not afraid of unemployment (unless they make any nursing mistakes);

Their own ability is insufficient, and they have no ability to jump out of the system; I've been doing it for a long time, and I'm used to it. I don't want any big changes;

Taking good care of the patient and thanking you when the patient recovers can give you a sense of satisfaction that ordinary people can't;

I believe that the medical environment will improve one day, and I believe that the nursing cause will turn over one day.

No nurse wants to quit her job while working hard.

There is a problem on Zhihu.

What moment made you not want to be a nurse?

A netizen replied, "Not for a moment. I don't want to be a pawn every day."

Many people want to go to the hospital to find a job as soon as they graduate from school, dreaming that they can realize their self-worth and save lives after work, which is both decent and profitable. When I first started working, I was full of blood and passion, and my daily work was full of sense of mission and responsibility. But with the passage of time, the work content is more and more repetitive, endless night shifts and exams, coupled with the tense doctor-patient relationship, the original blood and passion have long been exhausted.

There is a formula that goes like this:

Among the resigned nurses, the main body is not new nurses, but N2-N3 nurses who have been employed for more than 5 years and have all taken breastfeeding leave.

After working for a period of time, such nurses are more aware of what they want, have a strong will to realize themselves and are willing to take the initiative to find new career opportunities.

Because of its mature professional skills and light burden, other hospitals or other industries are willing to accept it, so its turnover rate is in the forefront.

Therefore, whether you are a nursing student who has not graduated or a nurse who has been employed, you should ask yourself a question: "Why do you want to be a nurse?"

If this is just an impulsive choice and you find that you can't bear it after work, then I may suggest that you consider another career;

But if you really love nursing, or have found a sense of familiarity, accomplishment and value in this job.
