I'm nervous because I'm 19 years old and only ever had 3 jobs in my whole life. And I worked all of those 3 jobs within this year and stayed at the 1st one for 1 month and a half; 2nd job for 2.5 months; and the 3rd one for only 1.5 weeks.
So you can see, I am a job hopper and when I don't want to do something anymore I immediately back out of it. It's the same for my older sister, she has had 14 jobs within this year and never stayed at them for more than 2 months, or college (she dropped that within a few weeks too).
So I'm afraid that I will become just like her and back out of the nursing profession because something I don't like about it and I don't want it to be like that.
So how do you nurses deal with a environment that you do not like? What keeps you working at a job for a year or more? It is my ultimate goal to have a job for at least a year but I know that will never happpen.
I still depend on my mother finacially and so does my older sister (21 years old), so we always have a safety net to rely on when we don't want to deal with the realities of the world.
