I'm feeling guilty. I'm in a different situation. I left a new grad program after 6 months when I was offered a job in an ambulatory surgery center. I found my calling there for sure. Well, once the govenor of my state put the kibosh on elective surgeries, there went my job. Temporarily, at least. I can do without working, as my husband is the breadwinner; however, I feel compelled to go and help out. The unit I left at the hospital (it was a med/surg position) has openings and they are eager to hire. My issue is, because I left a new grad position, I believe I burnt a bridge. I'm not sure entirely, as there was no real drama surrounding it. It's just that I was still in the program and I jumped ship for the job I really wanted. In any case, I've been having lots of inner dialogue with myself and I want to reach out to my old manager and ask if I could come and help. I don't know what to do. My husband works from home normally and my teenager is now home too doing virtual school. I don't want to bring anything home to them. Am I crazy for wanting to go back? Maybe so. Anyone else feeling like this?
