What are the best parts of being a nurse?

I am 30, a neuro tech for 10 years and just got laid off with no local job prospects. So I’m starting nursing school this fall.

After working in the hospital for 10 years, I’ve seen a lot of grumpy nurses. There are a lot of downfalls. So I need to hear more positive aspects of nursing. What are the good job positions? What departments? Kinds of clinics?

Despite the negatives, I cannot deny the endless opportunities for being a nurse. I need a good job to provide for my family. Plus I think I could be good at it!

Anyway. What is the good?
