You Better Have Fun!

My first job was in a speciality hospital in NYC. I worked with the most wonderful nurses on the planet. We had as much fun as you could have on an incredibly busy unit. My co-workers were not the reason I quit. It had to do with working 12 hour shifts, working nights and having 4 nurses to 42 extremely sick patients. I lasted 5 years full time and limped along part time for my 6th and final year in a hospital setting. It was a great learning experience. I loved most of my co workers but I would never go back. It was physically grueling and emotionally draining.
