I am a new grad, working at a LTAC and I absolutely HATE it. If this was all nursing had to offer, I would quit the profession. I cry every single day at the thought of going back, even on my days off. The nurse/patient ratio is 1:10, this is very overwhelming to me as a new grad (I am still orienting, so my preceptor still guides me), this is not a place for a new grad to work. It feels like a step-down ICU to me. Does anyone have any advice for me? Stick it out in misery until I find something else? Would quitting make me look like a quitter? I am so overwhelmed. Is this a normal part of being a new grad in the work force? Hating it? Thanks for any advice.
