Nursing is a difficult career field to choose from. There are many reasons why you may not want to become a nurse and some of them are unique to your personality or circumstance. However, there are also many reasons why people choose nursing as their profession and it’s important to examine both sides before making your decision. Here is a list of reasons why we do not choose the field of nursing:

Too much pressure

You are in a high-stress environment, and you need to be able to focus on your work. You are also expected to take care of yourself by getting adequate sleep and eating well. This can be difficult when you have many other things in your life such as family responsibilities or school commitments.

Dangerous line of work

There is a risk of injury to yourself, your family, and your patients. Nurses are exposed to germs that can lead to infections. There is also a possibility of violence towards nurses by patients as they are often working alone in the hospital environment.

Nurses also face death on a daily basis at workplaces due to accidents and disease transmission caused by bacteria or viruses that may attack some parts of their bodies without warning or notice (such as eyes). Another danger faced by nurses is contracting diseases during patient care such as tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B virus (HBV), etc., which could lead to death if not treated properly immediately after exposure so it’s important for you not only maintain good hygiene but also have knowledge about how these viruses spread from one person into another through contact with infected materials such as bloodstained clothing/bedding, etc.

Lack of resources and funding

• Lack of funding for the field

In the United States, there is a shortage of nurses. In fact, it is estimated that by 2020 there will be more than one million new jobs available in nursing but only about a quarter of those jobs will be filled by qualified individuals due to insufficient training programs and limited funding for research and development. This means that many people who could help patients cannot do so because they have no access to the necessary resources or equipment needed during their time in nursing school or while working as nurse practitioners (NP).

• Lack of resources for patients and nurses

Nurses work long hours at their job despite having other responsibilities like raising children or caring for elderly relatives—and this can lead them to be fatigued which may contribute towards increased stress levels among those close by them such as family members who may not understand what goes on behind closed doors when someone’s life might depend upon their ability just getting through one day without breaking down completely

Unsafe conditions

In addition to the physical hazards of the job, nurses are also at risk for injury and illness due to unsafe conditions. Nurses must be able to work in all kinds of weather conditions, which can include extreme heat and cold as well as rainstorms or snowstorms. They may have to deal with biological agents such as bacteria or viruses that could cause serious illness if not properly protected from them.

Long, irregular hours

Nursing is a demanding job. It requires long hours, irregular shifts, and no overtime pay. Nurses are often on call 24/7 and can be called into work at any time of day or night. Some nurses have to take care of patients during weekends or holidays, which means they aren’t getting any sleep.

Nurses also have to deal with unpredictable schedules: some days your schedule starts at 6:00 AM, but other days it starts at 11:00 AM; some days you only get one break per shift; others there are no breaks because the doctor needs constant monitoring of vital signs (blood pressure).

Shortage of nurses

The nursing shortage is a problem that affects many countries, including the United States. The shortage is caused by several factors and can be solved with better education, more training, and incentives for nurses.

The first step in solving this problem is ensuring that there are enough people who want to be nurses to fill all available jobs as soon as they become available. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to become a nurse or pursue their dreams of becoming one because of the long hours required during their studies or clinical rotations (which are required before becoming licensed). This makes finding qualified candidates difficult because those who do choose this field aren’t yet ready for full-time work within hospitals or clinics like yours!

A career built around helping others is a tough choice.

A career built around helping others is a tough choice. Many people choose this path because they want to make a difference in their community or the world, but it’s not always easy. There are many hard work-related factors that can lead you down a path of difficulties: long hours, sometimes dangerous conditions, and little funding for your education and healthcare needs.

If you decide to follow this path, please take note: there will be times when you may feel discouraged by these things or question whether continuing on would be worth it at all—but remember that no one has ever regretted choosing nursing as their profession!

Conclusion

It’s important to remember that any career can be hard work and there are many other factors to consider before deciding on a nursing career. The job is challenging, but it does come with great rewards for those who love the field! While each individual nurse may have different reasons for choosing nursing as an occupation, we hope this article has helped you understand why some people choose this path while others don’t.
