I just graduated in May and was thrilled to get a job within a month of graduating with the hospital system i most wanted to be a part of..
I have gone through 2 months of orientation and am in my last couple weeks and have now been put on my regular shift.. 8 hour nights..
I've only done 8 of them (5 in a row, 2 off, 3 more, now i'm on 1 off, then 5 more in a row) and i am feeling horrible, and depressed and trapped, and upset.. and to top it off i'm sick! omg.. i feel like a big complaining baby, but i really dont think i can handle this. I have 2 children, ages 9 & 10, and i feel like i am just completely miserable or sleeping now all the time.. not really how i had envisioned this going..
so has anyone done this and survived?? am i stuck? Should i just find another position somewhere else, even for less pay? i am just feeling horrid.
