Hoping for some help. I have posted a thread in another Forum. I have been an RN for 9 years and I hate it. I just hope I can save my sanity.

Welcome. You do not say what type of nursing that you are doing right now.
Perhaps you can move to another type of nursing. Your skills can be used in a variety of ways......sometimes you need to look outside of the box.

I have done a lot and I am a travel2r now. Worked Peds for 1 year, med/surg for 2, tele for 2 and ICU (SICU, MICU, CCU, CVICU) now for 4 years.

I am tired of the bedside aspect. I mean, burnt out is being nice. I hate it.

Nursing offers hundreds of jobs. Think about what you like about nursing (not now, necessarily...) and then figure out where they have nursing that does that.

I have worked in prison, insurance, agency, LTC, taught at the high school level, school nursed, camp nursed. I have done psych, drug abuse/recovery, telephone triage, Labor and Delivery.

There are desk jobs, phone jobs, tourist jobs. Get creative.

What is it that you hate? Be specific...
