I mean, i'm not making excuses but it would be like faking an orgasm for a maternity nurse to be all excited every time she does her job... no?
My sister did the maternity ward for a while after she finished nursing school and had to stop because it stressed her out so much... i think there is also a level of anxiety about what complications may come up with every new patient that may make nurses a little uptight and cold... To me the root of the issue is simply that there are so many people and so little community these days that 'making' babies, is a job and not an event. Its refreshing to hear you feeling a bit rebuffed by the industry of healthcare, because you're exactly the kind of person i hope would take care of me someday if i need it. :)
Keep this all in mind, and find a job where you can be less 'robotic' when you get the chance! go you! What an exciting field of study!
