I've been in the ICU setting for 6 years now. Last year, I got sexually harassed by a patient and I couldn't do it anymore and took a break.
This year, I wanted something new. A work environment that is completely separated by the patients so I chose to go to the OR. The transition was not easy. I had to find a personal connection in the OR to transfer... only to find out that this is not my jam.
I don't find OR nursing interesting AT ALL. Day by day my stresses are piling up. Plus, every time I'd look into CRNA school application, they want CURRENT ICU experiences.
Should I go back to ICU and quit this job? I know it is a stupid question, and it looks like I've already made my decision. But I need a second opinion or even an affirmation from somebody else besides me and my family...
Thank you and sorry if I'm being stupid
