What else can I do with a BSN beside bedside nursing

[Ayonti]

PLEASE PLEASE help me. I feel like I am all alone with no one to turn to for help. I am a new RN with a BSN. I quit my 1st job as a med surg nurse after 3 months because of stress, depression and anxiety, all because of the job. Prior to this I was a new RN, full of hope and excited about my new career. I am home now unemployed, feeling like I wasted 5 years of my life in nursing school. I also feel like a failure in front of my family. I want to work in a field related to nursing without being a bedside nurse. I am so afraid to go back there that everytime I even think about it my stomach hurts. I am still having anxiety attacks in my personal life because of my 1st job. What other fields can I get into? I feel like I am just wasting away. For my well being I can not go back to a hospital setting but what am I going to do with my BSN and only 3 months experience in med surg. Thanks.

I am an older person, coming back to the work force after a divorce. I spent most of my settlement money getting a BSN and now I cannot find a job anywhere. I have a house payment to make and two children to support. Nursing was supposed to be the most secure job and I was told that I would always have a job as a nurse. No one will give me a chance even though I have offered to work nights, weekends and holidays. There should be no complaints about a nursing shortage when they will not let new grads in.

Like I said earlier, I'm left traditional nursing for MR. I love it! I can be out daily by 330, no nights, weekends, holidays. I make a decent amount more per hour than I did in traditional! I live in a Boston suburb. I have friends/co-workers who left Boston hospitals to come here (and they are young). I have always loved reading charts and putting pieces together. I also have friends who are doing this while they complete their BSN/msn
