The job of a RN is very demanding. You have to be prepared to go into work at any moment just in case there is an emergency and you are needed. RN's often have to work through holidays and rarely have the ability to call off. Though this seems stressful at the end of the day this is what they are trained for and they are prepared to put their life on the line to save yours. They work long hours and sometimes pull double shifts. The environment that they work in is full of unknown diseases so it is important that in a building full of sickness a RN stays clean and remains unexposed.
