Disadvantages of a clinical nurse

Answer 1

Some disadvantages of being a clinical nurse are arguable. I think that in order for someone to analyze what a true disadvantage is, you have to figure out first whether it is something you would enjoy doing. The field of medicine is something that should be entered with interest and high expectations of yourself. That being said, some disadvantages may include:

• Stressful working environment
• Possible loss of interest from repetitve procedures and patients
• Possibly being treated with scorn by patients daily
• Getting sick from patients
• Becoming exposed to a dangerous virus or other chemical hazards
• Possible depression after losing a patient

Answer 2

Being a nurse is a VERY rewarding career, but it can also be filled with heartache. It all depends on what interests you and what field you choose. First off, if you are squeamish about blood or sick people or diseases...this probably isn't for you. If you choose a field like pediatric nurse, you could be around a lot of heartache due to the children often having incurable conditions, but if that's what you want to do...go for it. The schooling is anywhere from 6 months to four or more years, but like I said, it all depends on what field you choose.
