It really depends on the day. The cases I get, the people I'm working with, whether or not there's enough of them or we're totally understaffed. It's a mixed bag, and I guess my attitude toward work reflects that. I still genuinely like it, I just don't have any illusions about what it's *really* like.

I don’t outright hate my job. But it does get a little exhausting from time to time. I often wonder what it would be like to make a major career pivot.

I love nursing and our profession! It is so flexible and we can always pivot into something new if we get "sick and tired". I pivoted from bedside RN to NP and now I'm trying to pivot from NP role into non-clinical.
