I haven't posted on this forum in a while. I am one of the people that feels nursing is way tooo stressful and my job has ruined my life.
Every time I go to work I get nervous, anxious, I feel like vomiting and I have worked here for years.
I used to be 150lbs just 5 years ago. I am now 220lbs. I eat to make me feel better and nursing also turned me into an alcoholic.
I drink whiskey after a long day of work just to feel a little relaxed. I drink the day before I work to help me feel a little better. I get anxious knowing that I work the next day. I even feel like this 2 days or more before I work just knowing that I have to work in a few days.
Dont get me wrong. I hide everything very well inside. All of my patients love me, I treat them like my own familly, my don loves me along with many of my coworkers. They always tell me that I am always very calm and so nice to everyone. I respect everyone and do my best every time I go to work.
i even get the most patient satisfaction kudos cards quite often. I am a good nurse but inside I am deing.
My financial situation has slightly improved and I plan to get out of nursing completely by January 1 2018.
Sorry for the rant. I needed to let this out. Nursing has ruined my life. It's all about the profits hospitals make, short staffed etc... I could keep going on and on.
I hate nursing. I am so happy I
am brave enough to realize nursing is not for me and move to another career instead of doing something that has ruined my life for the rest of my life.
I plan to further my main online business and several other online businesses. I will be working from home.
I should have listened to my dad when he said to get a bachelors in information technology with a specialty in software development.
I will most likely do what he said while working at home.
