It may not be hating to work with patients, but the kind of work with the patients. A lot of people have no idea how much booty wiping and baths are required when you’re a nurse taking care of really sick patients. There’s also the “daughter from California” issue. There is a lot of literal and figurative shit healthcare providers have to put up with. Some people are in it because the paychecks are really pretty solid.

It sounds like you should look into a different career path. Hating working with patients really isn’t conducive to being a nurse.

Nearly 20 years of watching someone else do that job, no thanks. Takes a special person to deal with all of that. Thanks for taking one for the team.

What’s the daughter from California issue?

End of life care the distant relative swoops in and says “we want to do everything possible to keep them alive” keeping the patient on life support until their organs give out.

Australian doctor here, certainly in Australia There are dozens of jobs for nurses that require minimal or no patient contact.
Things like administration and management would usually require at least a reasonable amount of experience but clinic work is very different to hospital work.
My own fiance works in infection control which is a lot of reviewing charts, advising ward staff on isolation protocol, ensuring staff vaccinations are up to date.
