oh boy i sure can relate to that! after 20 years i have had enough of a situation that is getting worse & so i am doing a masters in education & will affect pt care from the schools. It will also give me the option of registering as a teacher and leaving nursing all together to teach highschool

I want to leave bedside nursing, too. Just biding my time until I can come up w/ a workable plan to leave.

My husband says he will support me in whatever I do.

I find myself having nightmares about work, and unable to sleep well or enjoy time off because I am ruminating about work.

I need to stop giving it "another chance" and pay attention to what my body and mind are telling me. It's time to find a way out.:stone

I left bedside nursing and became a journalist. It took a while, and I was writing and nursing. But gradually, I was able to make enough money writing to cut down on my nursing. Then I moved out of bedside nursing completely, and worked as a telephone triage nurse in a corporate office. I did that part time for about a year, and now I am a full time journalist.

There are many opportunities in this world. The key is to decide what you really might like to be doing, and not how much you want to get away from nursing.

Thanks for the replies. Helllllooo Nurse I feel exactly like you!! I toss and turn all night and when I do sleep I dream about work!!

I don't think I would want to leave the field totally, because I do love some aspects of it, but I am buring out FAST!!

I love animals, but working in an animal shelter unfortunately won't pay my bills, other than that I don't know what I want to do
