I'm a new graduate just one month into my first job on a med/surg unit and I quit today. I realized early that I hate working in the hospital. I feel really horrible because I spent so much time in school working towards it but I know that I'd be miserable if I'd stayed. I thougt I could stick it out a year to get the year experience that most nursing jobs require but it was so bad I secretly wished to get into a car accident on the way to work in the morning just so I wouldn't have to be there. I'm not sure what I want to do now. I know I like working in physician's offices but there's no money in that with no experience and being a new grad, and I've been looking over the past few weeks and haven't found much. I'm thinking about going back to school to be an x-ray tech or something along those lines. I don't want the massive responsibilty involved in hospital nursing. I just sort of feel like a failure for working so hard in school and quitting so soon. I'm only 22 years old and still live at home so I'm glad I figured this out now and not a few years down the road where I'm on my own and stuck in a career I hate, I just wish I figured it out before wasting two years in school. I think the hardest part for me is what my family thinks. My mom is very supportive of my decision, but my father isn't and he doesn't understand how I could give up so much money and I tried to explain that money will never make me happy. I want to love what I do. I just feel like I let everyone down:o Any advice? Anyone have a similar experience? I feel like I'm the only one who's ever done something like this:o
