We can all get the feeling of burnout now and again. If your passion is mental health, then I can see how med/surg can be draining. Get the experience you need, look into certifying as a psych nurse, and rock on. Do what you can to learn what you can on Med/Surg. It can help you to be able to assess well, clinical skills, charting and the like.
Then move on when you have put in what you need to.
