I'm six months into my first job and I hate it. It's extremely stressful due to - surprise surprise - chronic understaffing and a high nurse to patient ratio. We had 5 resignations in the past month alone. My goal is to finish my first year then get the heck out of there. Would my resume look bad if I went part time for the next 6 months?

Definitely not! I worked 24 hours per week in the ICU after graduation. I lasted 6 months…it was just not for me. I wanted to make it a year, but feeling miserable all of the time wasn’t worth it. I am now doing something I love and am so happy I made the leap! Good luck!
