Any thoughts please!?

so basically I have 8 months experience between 2 jobs (peds-which I always stayed sick, and cardiac stepdown-pts sick like an icu, but staffed like medsurg). I get so stressed out working these 12 (and even sometimes 16hr shifts which I think it absolutely ridiculous)... got to where I was having panic attacks and all before work. I left both and have been working in another field for the past 3 months. I want to be a nurse, just don't want to feel that way! I know I probably need to find my niche.. really put myself in a good situation, but looking at where hospitals seem to be hiring it's obviously the most understaffed places making the situations even harder to work through. any thoughts on getting back in. I am in no hurry to get started again, but I'm afraid if I wait a year or something I may never go back! (of course I think I would love a drs office, but there's never any openings here... plus seems like they only hire MAs)

thoughts?!
