You can always be a case manager. Work at an insurance company doing Prior authorization, work at a clinic with a set 8 hrs shift Monday through Friday or healthcare community nurse. There are so many options in nursing.

People tell me in the nursing field you shouldn’t let people change u ( because I’m so bubbly and fun and they aren’t) but I tell them that this field will make me change because everyday I hear don’t let people play with me and someone is ALWAYS being mean daily. How can I possibly not change ? And it ls for the worse. So when they ask me if I wanted a job I said yes but I plan to only be there for 2 years to get my experience. Putting your mental health first so you don’t change who you are is completely ok. That’s is stronger then staying in a job thinking it won’t change who you are

I've been an RN for 7 years and my advice Is not to take call until a few years in. You would do amazing at straight nights or days 3 12s a week. I know you r liking the school nurse job so do that and then try going back to hospital setting u are more than capable and you are so beautiful smart God fearing woman u got this friend

45 years ago, my wife was a geriatric ward nurse. Most nights she would come home and cry for an hour while I held her. It takes an emotional toll.
I was in our local hospital on the date of this video. I went back 4 months later to give flowers to the nurses that took care of me. None of them were still there. The hospitals make people burn out and leave. Take care of yourself. Good Luck, Rick

I’m still in my first nursing job in the NICU. I’m going on 4 years and it’s so tough. Nursing sometimes feels like an abusive relationship and it’s so hard to leave. I applaud you and your decision!

Madi, I quit inpatient nursing after 6 months because I was so depressed, anxious, and miserable. I have now been at an outpatient OBGYN office for a year and I have never been happier. Don’t ever stay somewhere that makes you unhappy. Wishing you all the luck in the world!

Why can’t we normalize quitting where you don’t feel comfortable. there are so many jobs out there for nursing it’s actually a blessing.

[dianegould]

I’ve been a nurse for 30 years and have been a preceptor for many new nurses. When someone on my team decides to move on I always say “as long as you make decisions that are best for you and your family you can’t go wrong.” Take care of yourself and don’t beat yourself up!! Best of luck!

A role model doesn't have to be perfect. The fact that you can share your highs and low moments with us proves how much of a role model you are. We all have seen you worked your way up to where you are now, and that could not have been more motivating. Girl you got this and we support you all the way! <333

As a retired RN I have to say it takes a while to really become proficient as a RN. I quit my first job as they were making us work two different shift's at that time. I had a small son and needed to work 7-3 shift. Once I started the second job, found it much better. It took me at least seven year's to feel proficient. Also the RN who talked about saving and investing. That is something I did and now since I'm retired glad I did. Take your time follow your intuition and do what is best for you. Never let anyone who is external to you dictate your future. You can also take a less stressful job and then go back. Please do not burn yourself out and learn to say "NO". Once I did that and was in control of my own power loved nursing.

I haven’t finished this yet but please, please, please know, that you doing this, is you being an awesome “role model”. People need to know it’s ok to to leave things/places/jobs that are draining you. I can guarantee you that someone will be watching this after a hard few months, crying, debating whether or not to leave and they will find comfort in knowing that someone else is going through the exact same thing. Please never feel like you are letting anybody down let alone your viewers. I am praying for you to find a great new position that better suits your needs and what you are able to give right now.

I admire your strength to post this! Nursing is NOT what it use to be 22 years ago when I started. I too quit this month! I’m done

[maricris]

I’ve been a nurse for 15 years.. working in the nursing home and hospital. How many jobs I had? Floor nurse, charge nurse, supervisor, nurse educator, fill in nurse manager, and wound and ostomy. Working all hours every shift. That’s the beauty of it all, you can do whatever and where ever you want to go and if it’s not working, it’s time for a change. Not everyone can be a nurse. I know that anxiety going to a job all too well. That means it’s not the right one. So wherever your heart takes you, you can give your 100 % and feel good about what you do. I wanted to do mom and baby at the beginning. I worked as a secretary at one … nope 👎🏽. Too stressful. I love the nursing home and I’m a certified wound and ostomy nurse at the hospital. I also found out I thrive with PRN and not full time. You’re doing great!

I applaud your bravery in making this video. I am a Psych nurse who worked nights for 16 years. At the end of my last night shift job, almost 4 years ago, I used to sit in my car and cry after every shift knowing I had to go back again. You made the right and brave choice. Life is short. Don’t waste precious time being miserable. It takes a toll. I’m so proud of

New grad ICU nurse here. I needed this video. I am in the same position of trying to figure out if I need another job for my health. I have lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks. My body doesn’t know when to sleep. When to eat. I’m usually positive and bubble but I feel like my light is being dimmed. The things I’ve seen in the last 6 months have taken something from me that I can’t get back. I feel like I’m disappointing everyone around me because I’m not operating at my full capacity. My doctor won’t give me a note to move to days or medication to help me eat on nights. I feel so blessed to be in an amazing ICU but I also don’t know how much longer I can sustain this. I thought I was just weak. Your video made me feel seen. Made me feel validated. And made me feel like I was not alone. And I thought I was. Thank you for this ❤ sending love to you in this trying time.

Edit: I’m literally crying through this whole video.

Edit/update. 8 months later from this initial post. I am day shift now, ICU still, and I feel great! Go to day shift if you can and feel this way!!!!

Been in med surg almost 3 years and I am going through this right now (again) and it is so scary and painful to dread going to work when I used to love going to work and I’ve gone from bubbly to disgruntled (on the inside) because I am expected to handle progressive level acuity alone (6-7 to 1) with shitty equipment and combative patients I feel so abused and unappreciated even after working 14 hours to make sure I leave nothing behind for the next shift which is my fault but that’s how I am….there’s all new people I don’t even recognize and I miss my old friends that left to travel and I don’t blame them. No job is worth burning out over my fellow nurses so speak up!!!! Thank you for being brave enough to share such a raw moment. Keep it up girl. I just applied for my transfer today so I hope I get it so I can be back to my old self too girl!!❤❤❤❤

I realized pretty quickly that nursing was not what I thought it was. I cared more for my mental health so I quit too and it was the best decision ever! I was ashamed and felt like I failed, but when I stopped worrying about what others were thinking, I felt better about my decision. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Many of us can relate to it.

[tammiebaby]

Your mental health matters. We started around the same time and honestly I left L&D as well. My anxiety got so bad I had chest pains. It's not okay to feel that way. We matter. Good for you for leaving! We love our field, we worked hard for this. We deserve to be in a position that actually makes us happy. I went to assisted living and absolutely love it. There's a place for all of us gorgeous. You will find yours ❤

[deergreentea]

girl I quit my first nursing job after 6 months bc of how badly it ruined my mental health. I needed therapy afterwards. it was so bad. don’t feel bad for doing what you need to do for yourself. nursing or any job for any matter should not push your boundaries like that. it should not make you that stressed out. sure there are horrible days in every job but you need to do what’s best for your mental health. praying for you. I know what this feels like. im now two years in as a nurse and am so happy I chose myself :D

[DaniellaBellaoO]

I just passed my one year anni of being an RN. I was salutatorian of my class and started in the ICU. Everything you’ve been saying is exactly how I felt when I was there. I am on an oncology med surg floor now and it’s been an absolute blessing. But my ego was so hurt when I left because I felt all these expectations on me because I did well in school I thought I should be the best I should be getting the hang of things but I just wasn’t when I was in ICU I came home everyday crying and upset and it really messed with me. Take all the space and time you need and don’t let anyone make you feel differently about choosing yourself. Nursing is an amazing job but the job won’t take care of you, only you can take care of you. God bless baby girl you’re doing the right thing
