Sometimes I’m not sure I am cut out for this job. I have been a school nurse for two years now and I am just feeling like maybe I’m not right for this position. I struggle dealing with parents. I’m trying to work on my communication skills but it feels impossible to make everyone happy (and to respect COVID protocols). I’m struggling with one of my secretaries also—I travel between multiple buildings and must delegate a lot to her. She ignores my delegation and sometimes thinks she knows more than I do about how to manage some kids with chronic illnesses. I miss the confidence I had at my previous nursing position. I felt capable of handling anything thrown at me. I’m wondering if I should resign or stick it out one more year.
