Leaving nursing

[nay2018]

I hate nursing. I've only been an RN for 6 months. I work in a clinic, and am sick of being treated like crap by doctors and nurses, and not respected by patients. I want to switch careers, but don't know what I want. I am young, have many school loans and bills to pay. For those of you that have quit nursing, what careers did you end up in after? Was the pay similar to what you were paid in nursing?

I sincerely hope you are just venting after a very bad day at work. That's perfectly okay.

If that's not the case, there's a saying I learned from Allnurses.

If one person I meet treats me like crap, that's on them, if everyone I meet treats me like crap, that's on me.

Re-read OldDude's post. His reply was similar to mine, but more gently said.

If you want to leave nursing take your time and do classes for something different on your off days. Im slowly working on my electrical engineering degree and still working as a nurse giving it everything i have when im on the clock. Doing whatever i can for my patients. Keep that job so you can keep paying your bills/student loan.
