In short, today I am only going to work for the money.
→[More:] Normally this wouldn't be an issue with me, because, hey, we all work to get paid, right? I just feel that, as a nurse, I should be giving more of a shit about this home health patient I'm caring for. For a minute, I felt like because I didn't want to work for this man, I didn't want to be a nurse. After talking some sense into myself, I realize it's just not the kind of nursing I want to be doing, so I'm detached from it. Not very interested. Know that it isn't that I won't do my best as a nurse to help him, I will. I just dislike it. The money is good so I'm really,
really trying to stick it out. I am just sad that I am only motivated by the paycheck.
