Help! I need advice!

I am currently working on a med/surg floor in a hospital,I have anxiety,and I don't know whether it's from the anxiety that I don't like my job anymore,or if it's just because I don't like it and I can't handle it.I know that the job is stressful,but I dont know what other job I can do,when this is all I know(I'm a CNA).Can someone please give me some advice...has anyone been through this?:confused:

Hmmm... well yeah, Med/Surge can definately be a stressful place to work, especially for a CNA!

Keep in mind that just like an RN, you also have different options. You could work on an OB unit, a Psyche unit, in the ER... some hospitals use techs in the ICU... you could even work hospice. You do have options, if you don't like Med/ Surge.

Sorry to hear that Med/surg is stressing you out. I was a CNA before gettting my RN license. I used to work on the Cardiac floor. There was a lot of work on my floor too. I agree with you that it is stressful.

I bet you hate going to work, just like how I used to be. Guess what? I still don't like going to work now even I am working in the OR. I am still looking for something easier to make my life little bit happier.

Do you have plans to go back to study? Do you like being a dental Hygenist? I think it is a better job than working in the hospital. How about the Radiology tech. You can make more money and the job is easier.

How about train to be a pharmacy tech. They are highly in demand and the job is less stressful. At least you don't have to deal with Poops and pee.

Good luck with whatever your plan is . I am stuck too in the medical field and I can't wait to get a less stressful job. But still don't knwo what to do yet...:uhoh21:
