I just graduated from nursing school a few months ago and I absolutely hate my job.. what should I do?

I just graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and took a job on a Medical floor. I did my senior (consolidation) clinical on this same floor and I just absolutely hated every minute of it. But a month and a half after I was done that clinical, when I graduated, it was the only place that offered full time employment, so I foolishly took the position- thinking that a paycheck would make it better, it doesn't. I felt like I didn't want to do nursing ever since the beginning of my third year of university, but by that point, I had invested so much time and money into it (and my nursing courses wouldn't transfer), I stuck with it.. Now here I am, completely miserable in a job I absolutely hate with rent and car payments.. I have done clinical placements in non-hospital areas and liked them more- but there are none of the sort up for grabs around here. I just do not know what I want to do with my life, but I'm pretty sure nursing is not it. I went into it because everyone told me I'd be good at it and they were so proud.. but once I got in there, I realized nursing is not what I thought it would be and that I hate hospital nursing. What I love to do is bake and cook! I also love bird watching and biology (birds).. but I have $30,000 in loans to pay off. What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
