I really want to quit my job....

Published

Hi all.. I am stuck in a dilemma.. I have been a nurse for 3 years.. I did medsurg for 2.5..and then decided to try the ICU.. I've been working in the ICU for 4 months now.. And I absolutely dislike it... At first I thought it was just the new job jitters.. But it's dawned on me that it's more than that.. I truly dread coming into work.. I sit and think of ways I can get around it.. Lol. People are nice for the most part.. But the atmosphere is just not one that I'm used to.. Many people are so stuck up and put themselves on pedestals.. I want to quit so badly that I don't even care about giving a two weeks notice or not... I've never felt so burnt out in my life.. Has anyone ever felt like this?

I've felt that way after a year in CVICU. I ended up quitting. I've found a job in postpartum that suits me much better. I've been in PP for over a year now and love it !!! Best decision I've ever made.

Prnqday....how did you break into PP from the CVICU?

It could be that particular unit or hospital. Try something else.
