Hi Markoda
I am an PACU nurse which means I recover patients as soon as they come out of surgery. I work in an outpatient surgery center that just does urology. The best part of my job is when the patient is discharged and they say what a great nurse I am or all the nurses at the center. It is difficult and scary to have surgery and we try to get them through the process as best we can. The worst part, there are a lot of gross things you have to see, touch, deal with, think about, talk about. There are still things that surprise and shock me. I have learned to just get thru it. I also keep a sense of humor, that helps a lot.

Hi Markoda,
I'm a nurse by profession and also work as a clinical analyst. Being a nurse opens up so many exciting opportunities in different fields, and that's what I love most about my job. As a clinical analyst, I enjoy helping my colleagues understand and use the electronic health records better. Sometimes, the workload in this area can feel overwhelming, but it's incredibly rewarding to know that I'm contributing to making everything run smoothly for everyone.

Hi Markoda! I am a registered nurse who doesn't work in a facility (Hospital, Nursing Home, etc.). I work from home. The beauty of nursing is there are so many options of how to use your knowledge. I usually do Utilization Review which is a job that requires reviewing clinical information and creating a story/picture of a persons medical needs and treatment while receiving care (Inpatient, Outpatient, Equipment etc.) and applying guidelines to determine if it is appropriate or not. What I love and dislike about this job tend to be the same thing...... Being at home. I love being home because I don't have to drive in the snow or spend money on gas, and then there's the dogs for company. What I dislike is the lack of contact with people, direct patient care, and driving with the radio on. In the end there's a trade off and you work around it. My team makes sure to have get-together's every couple of months which allows us to bond. Daily we have a running chat for the "Good Morning!'s" and questions.
If I'm doing a Case Management role, there is more member care and contact by phone. I love that part of the job! I get to listen to the member and help them with support and information to improve their lives and health hopefully. On occasion I will go to their homes and do a visit. My favorite part if the contact with the member and feeling that I've made a difference. My least favorite is the documentation, even if it's on the computer.
You're going to have to look for the good in every job you have because they're "work" not "play", but it's usually not that hard to find why it's great to be where you are! Best of luck!

Hey there, Markoda!
The best part of any job? When it actually matters—whether that's helping people, solving problems, or making something awesome. The worst? The frustrating bits—stress, repetitive tasks, or, let's be real, difficult people.
For me? Well!
Greetings! I mean...
One thing I absolutely love about being a doctor is the ability to make a real difference in people's lives. Helping someone heal, easing their pain, or even just offering reassurance during tough times is incredibly rewarding. Seeing a patient recover and knowing I played a part in that is an amazing feeling.
On the flip side, the toughest part is dealing with difficult patients—especially those who don’t appreciate the effort and care we put in. I get that people are often stressed, scared, or in pain, but sometimes the way they react can be frustrating and mentally exhausting. That’s probably why a lot of doctors seem serious or distant—it’s just a way to cope with the emotional toll of the job.
But at the end of the day, the positives outweigh the negatives, and that’s what keeps me going!
Good luck Markoda, hope this helped!

Hello Markoda,
Great question! I am an entry-level graphic designer, and I am also currently doing an internship for a digital marketing agency. As a graphic designer, one thing I love the most about my passion is the ability to express my creativity and bringing ideas to life visually. I find it's incredibly rewarding seeing a concept evolve from a simple sketch to a fully realized design that communicates a message and resonating with an audience in mind. The process of experimenting with colors, typography/fonts, and layouts allows me to continuously learn and improve my skills as a beginner working in a real-world business.
On the flip side, one thing I dislike is the occasional creative block. Sometimes, finding the right inspiration or solution to a design idea can be challenging to execute that makes it more frustrating as time goes on. Deadlines and client feedback can also add to the pressure, making it difficult to balance creativity with practicality. However, overcoming these challenges still leads to growth and better designs on the long run that I still thoroughly enjoy doing for my position.
Thank you for your question!
Best Regards,
Emily Garcia

That's a great question! I really enjoy helping patients and their families move from a really tough time to finding a new normal. I always remind them that I can't change the past or erase the challenges, but together, we can find our way forward. Nursing is not just about caring for the patient; it's about supporting the family too, since they'll often manage care in the long run. And yes, pets feel the stress too!
I don't love working weekends and holidays, but I knew that was part of the deal when I chose this career. No job is perfect all the time—it's about how you handle the tough parts.
Good luck with choosing your career! I still believe nursing is the best. I've been doing it for 50 years.

Thanks for the question. Being a Registered midwife,One thing I love the most: The joy of bringing new life into the world and witnessing the profound bond between a mother and her newborn. It’s incredibly rewarding to support and empower women through such a life-changing experience.
One thing I dislike: The emotional toll of handling difficult or tragic situations, such as complications during childbirth or loss. It can be heartbreaking and mentally exhausting to navigate those moments
