I Quit

[nelcoy4]

I have been a nurse for 3 years, 25 yo, no kids, no life (all I did was sleep and work). My background is rehab, med-surg, and travel nursing. This year I was working on a med-surg unit. I had too many patients, family members was bugging me, post ops coming left and right, CNA's no where to be found and the new schedule came out and I was working 3 week-end out of the month. I went home and thought about my life and decided this is not what I want in my life. Now I have had bad days before and this was not my worse day in nursing. I think I finally had it. I was tired of talking to the scheduler and manger about these hours. After careful consideration, the next week I gave my 3 week notice. I'm currently doing agency to make my ends meet.

My question is that I don't know what to do with this BSN degree. I have gotten use to my financial security from nursing. I don't want to deal with bedside nursing. I don't feel safe going into people's houses. I don't want to have some scheduler controlling my life. I thought about going for nursing informaic (spelling error) since I love computers or going for computers all together and starting my own business. I don't know what to do and I'm kind of scared of the unknown. I'm sorry if I'm rambling.

I know I may be a bit late, but what about Hospice? You sound like a very caring person, and perhaps this might be your calling.
