Regarding IT:
My nursing career and IT work sounds very similar. Dealing with angry ppl. in our case, b/c they're angry they have an unexplained illness, a required procedure they don't want to undergo, rising health care costs, you name it. In addition, expecting to "fix it" is a common every day occurrence. Not to mention OUR requirements for complying with Federal, State and Local regulations, keeping your education current (another requirement btw to keep our licenses) etc. In addition, my new job role is being our lT person for our facility. I am by NO means an expert. But, if I looked at my job every day like this? I would never get out of bed. I am grateful to be doing something I was called to do.
As a customer, I am grateful for those knowledgeable, patient IT ppl. that have helped walk me through quite a few system issues. Seems like a never-ending problem. I appreciate the honesty but, my dad did IT most of his life and although aggravated he taught me "every thing with a grain of salt" LOL and always reply with "No problem!" yeeeeahhh...right! LOL
