I read through many of these threads.. and over and over again we're stating how miserable we are. I'm a new grad.. did 3 months and resigned. Am supposed to start a new job Monday.. and even after accepting that position a couple weeks ago, I was still looking for random jobs... data entry, secretary, retail even. I'm a VERY happy-go-lucky person and really enjoy helping others, but in this stressful situation .. and hearing how stressful it is non-stop.. is it really worth it? I know.. I know.. you do get your reward from the patient at times, but if I'm not able to be happy when I'm home with my husband and family.. and don't get to sleep in the same bed as him.. and on a different schedule than everyone I know... I care about my patients.. but the people I TRULY care about (my family) get the short end. So at what point do you stand up and say this is not for me?!
(just had some thoughts and wanting to share... pardon the journal entry LOL)
