I just don't know what to do......

[Lamissa21]

Hi, I am new to this forum and am in need of advice. I just graduated in May, passed my boards in June. I started in May on a Med-Surg floor that I loved! The staff and I were like family and I learned so much for the past two months. I enjoyed staying busy however I didn't feel comfortable with the ratio of 6 patients at times. Anyway, they closed my floor permantly now and the staff was all forced to go different ways. My options to stay on days were cardiac or ortho/neuro. I show no interst in ortho and on the other hand I absoultly hate cardiac stuff. Well, I have ended up on the cardiac floor. I dread going to work and the nurses there are so different. I feel like I don't fit in. My dream has always been L and D. The manager said I have a spot there if I want it, the kicker is it's the night shift. She said that the first day spot that opens I can have and I can do nights till then. I just don't know what to do....what if I get to L and D on the night shift and it's slow...I like to be busy. My husband is not thrilled about me working nights either although it will work out with our kiddos. Please give me some advice....how do you figure out your calling? Sorry for the long post. I am just so depressed about it all right now.
