Hi! Hope you're all having a good week, happy early 4th of July 🤗Â

So I'm in a bit of a pickle.. I've come to realize that bedside nursing is not for me. I tried 3 different units and the pace of the hospital is just too much, combined experience I really pute only have 6-7 months but I really only count 3 of them because I grew so much during that experience but I just wasn't fast enough, plus the patient ratio as a new nurse was a lot (6-7 patients per nurse). I really want a role where I get to know my patients and have a huge impact, I love getting to know people on a deeper level. The most recent experience was on a rehab unit and I loved the patients so much, I really learned a lot and am very proud of myself for trying my best and I did give it my all. I've applied for so many private practice/clinic/remote jobs and I really hope I hear back from one of them, I have a phone call for a dialysis position tomorrow and am excited about that one 🙂 It's 20 minutes from where I live so it would be a perfect commute!Â

I guess I'm just posting here for advice and to vent
