is anyone else stressed out?

[jrbl77]

recently i have found it harder and harder to go to work. i find myself not wanting to be a nurse anylonger, but i still need to work to support my family and don't have any job skills other than nursing. i work day shift and you can't find that many places. plus i live very close to my job and with the price of gas that is important. the floor i work on is a med surg floor and has been considered the best floor in our hospital. if you are sick that is where you want to be. it just seems every day we are expected to work harder and faster and never told we are doing anything right- only more things we should be doing as far as paper work etc. i guess this is just a pahse in my life and i hope this too passes, but i know that i am really stressed out about this now.

i hope jrb177 is ok....29 yrs is a long time to nurse.

i really sympathized with her.
