I gradaute nursing school in May of 2007. I started work and took boards in June 2007. My first job ended in December 2007, due to no fault of my own. I took my second job January 2008. (I should have known better they offer the job to me on the spot. ) My first job was in Womens/Infant Services which I love. My second job is ortho/neuro post surgical, basically it is the catch ALL floor for the hospital. I've told them we are WAY understaffed for such serious cases. It was not uncommon at all to have 8-10 pts. all by yourself, especially at night.
Well...This pass sunday all the emotions and feeling that I had been trying to keep bottled up came rushing out. I basically went temporary crazy. I was shaking, crying , could not think clearly. I ended up in the ER got to talk to the wonderful doctor who gave me ativan and told me to go home.
I had already put in a job change request and had a interview with that today. I talked to my current manager who said I was not welcomed back (like I would go back:no:), I'm not sure where to go from here. I haven't even been a nurse for a year and I'm ready to give up.
I still live at home and have very few bills :yeah:so going back to school is not out of the question. I started out in college for elem. education and only need 2 more years to have that degree. I'm just not sure what to do.
