How To Find a Job Where You Help People
Prior to coming to my current job, I was working in another sector which provided me with work that helped people. But, I wasn't making a difference or having the connection to make an impact. I felt like I was just a cog in a machine.
I took a job at a for-profit company with the goal to find and provide customers with the best products and customer service. This was going to be the perfect job for me as I was not being restricted by my morals.
I quickly discovered that I hated the work and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to make the decisions that were necessary. I soon realized that I hated being a salesperson, and that job was my only option. After a few weeks, I told my boss I was going to quit.

Whether it be IV, constant blood sugar checks, labor and delivery, or administering medication, nurses are responsible for much of what goes on in a hospital.
