   GAPEACH07 replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I would and have. I too have a daughter, 17YO, graduating in May this year. She has struggled with the decision for her future. I have been a CMA for 10 years and have been "burned out". Although I have had negative feelings, I have also had...
