Need advice, looking to get out of hospital nursing

[Toadroad]

I've been a nurse for over three years now and have worked in ICU, nephrology and did some travel nursing. I've come to the realization that I do not enjoy my job. I dread going to work and I know that this is not healthy. It's not so much the patients or the caring part, it's that I get so much worry and anxiety at work about making a major mistake and I get filled with anxiety thinking about a patient crashing. I guess I am just not into the rush of a code blue or anything like that. Does anyone have any suggestions of jobs I could transition to? I Don't know if it's worth trying a different field of nursing or just getting out of nursing altogether. Thanks for any advice !

Home health or hospice. Offers a lot of autonomy.

One on one, while in the home or facility.

Dialysis just some options

Case management, either for the hospital or for an insurance company. Outpatient nursing, such as infusion nursing. Medical equipment sales. Pharmaceutical sales. Community health nursing. There are a ton of ways to work as a nurse without the high acuity that is making it stressful to you. Before you toss the whole career, consider a different branch.

Home health, hospice, case management, clinics, dialysis, public health or go to the administrative side. Maybe teaching? So many options.

Acute dialysis is a good option as you have to have ICU experience. The patients are mostly 1:1. The positive side is you are pretty flexible and independent and you can read books while the treatment is going if the patient is stable. The bad side is you might need to travel between facilities and there's no definite end time because patients can get added on and there is some call requirement. I enjoyed it though and the money was good.
