nurses plan on quitting their jobs at the end of 2022, which would leave thousands of medical facilities and millions of patients without the care and support they need. We asked millions of nurses if they have ever thought about quitting and what made them decide to stay. That’s why I love nursing.

My younger self, 19 years old when I started nursing school, would not have survived it today had I not taken the path I did. Aside from the usual AM care, PM care, pre-op prep, post-op care, back care, urinal and bedpan cleaning and meal delivering tasks I was sent to in-services meant for RN's, most of which were over my head.
