lost my mojo

Published

I have never posted much here, worried I would be caught out! But could do with some advice, not from friends.

After a difficult time in my last job, I left. Applied for three jobs, (two at same place) no luck, waiting about two.

Have lost all my confidence, and after ten years I feel incapable of doing any nursing job,

I am also finding the health questionnaires of same place, invasive and confronting. why should I have to declare any previous mental health history IN MY LIFETIME if they are old. and not current,. but if I don't am I lying?

some days I am pro active , and I am seeking help with career counselling, and other days I just give up,

I used to love being a nurse, and was some what good at it, but now I am stuck

Hi jadelee,

I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. I don't have any useful advice, unfortunately, except that I hope you're taking care of yourself. I'm not sure where you are or what kind of options are available to you, but if you're feeling mojoless maybe a sideways move into a different kind of nursing might help. It can be challenging, but sometimes that can help rev you up.

Best of luck :)

Thank you for your compassion Talaxandra,

I am slowly feeling like going back to work, (at least my body wants to having woken me up before 8 last two days, lol,)

I think I will ease my way back.

I used to always tell students and people, that I have never looked back after choosing nursing when I was 16,

*half my lifetime ago!),

I am sure once I am in a supportive environment, I will be fine, :yeah:

I noticed you posted this back in July but I've been thru this more than once in the last 2 years.It seemed like I had a great job record for 20 years and then I've had several bad experiences. I do have several health problems and I work very hard to still go to work but I'm starting to really question the wisdom of trying to work in the current work environments I've seen in the last 2 years. I don't feel confident that doing the right thing is enough anymore because it only seems to matter if you work super fast ,not necessarily well and what the manager thinks of you even and a situation even if they are wrong/misinformed.

Did you find a more supportive environment?
