Anyway we had a tragic event, a uterine rupture and a newborn death. It totally freaked me out. I was there when she came in, but not when it happened. I've always loved my job but now its different. I have been applying to insurance jobs, utilization review jobs, research jobs, although I have NO experience in these matters. I've thought of hospice or home health or anything considered less risky and less scary. This wasnt the first tragedy we've had but this one seems worse, or I've taken it worse. I keep thinking that I want a 7-3 job, no hollidays, no WE, non-clinical, something CALM. I've never wanted a desk before EVER. Help! Has anyone else felt the same way? I am trying not to make a rash decision but I still keep applying to other jobs. Does this make sense???????????

I am so sorry you were affected by this tragic event in such a way. I am fixing to take a job training for L&D and mom/baby nurse. Your story has truly touched me. I am coming from a LTCF background where death is the expected norm. But, I question my ability to handle the tragic death of little ones. I have no advice I could give but would like you to know you are in my prayers. Whatever decision you make, know that we are all human and those who are overworked & understaffed are going to feel the effects of the stress more so than those who are not. Chin up & good luck.
