How do you know when you are burnt out on a floor?

And need a change? And willing to take a change even if the hours/pay is worse (but better for you in the long run)?

If your're like me working as a CNA floating over a large hospital and a unit manager begs you to come work on her floor and get paid time and a half the next day since no CNAs are scheduled and all you can think about is ill rather lay in my bed and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING productive than to endure one more night of constantly being called to do this, do that, pull this while your juggling that and i have to pee.

When I feel like the homeless have it better than I do.

When a panic attack visits me.

When I have absolutely nothing left to give.

So many times we imprison ourselves in a bad situation far beyond time to go because the element of "unknown" in change is frightening. Put another way, we often act like the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I agree with the previous answers. Remember, money is more addictive than heroin, so don't let it control your life or it will kill you.

So much truth and wisdom here. Thanks!
