Nurses General Nursing

I am so discouraged with this whole field. I'm starting to think I am just not cut out for this. I got a verbal offer for a CCU position at a local hospital, but they still have not reached out through email. I have been looking for a job for the past 4 months after quitting my first due to anxiety. I know this is getting religious, but at this point I'm thinking God just never wanted me to be a nurse. I've never been through so much rejection. I've seriously been rejected enough to fill at least 3 people's lifetimes. Over and over again I go through interviews just to never hear back. I've spent countless hours to commutes there, crying every day because I have no purpose in life. Are there people who simply cannot be nurses? I have never felt so discouraged. How did i make it through 4 years of nursing school? I can't help but feel like i'm being rejected over and over because this is not the right path for me. I'm only 22. I can still save myself...the thing is I want to be a nurse but I feel like nursing doesn't want me. I have never been so depressed in my life. I know I need therapy but I can't help myself without a job. Has anyone been through something similar? I feel like I wasted so much of my life on a job that does nothing but depress and upset me every day of life. Please help me.

Specializes in Psych, Corrections, Med-Surg, Ambulatory.
