"The best part of my job is having a patient call and say she loves her nurse or therapist and wants to thank them for helping her get better. It also feels good when a patient has been discharged from our agency and gets sick again or has another surgery and asks the hospital for us again because she was so happy with her previous nurse or therapist. The worst part of the job is all the paperwork that's required."

"If you really want to be a nurse, be aware that it's very hard to get through school. You should be sure before you start a career that may not be right for you. If it is for you, you will absolutely love it no matter what kind of nursing you do. But you should be sure you have a good support system. You may have always dreamt of being a certain kind of nurse like a pediatric or emergency room nurse but the specialties are not easy to get into. You should be realistic and realize you need to have diversified experience to get where you want."
