I am a new graduate RN and have been working at my current job for 2 months now. I am done with my orientation and work a 2-3 split on nights on an acute floor. I love my coworkers and love the drama free vibes of night shift, but that's about all I like. I've been miserable and exhausted and feel terrified of messing up every time I come in to work. I feel like I never see my husband (only been married for 10 months) or my family and when I do see them I am too tired to enjoy it. This 2-3 split makes it impossible to ever get used to one schedule because I am constantly going from sleeping during the day back to sleeping at night on my off days. I have been crying constantly and already want to find another job where I have better hours. I would do anything for an 8 hour job. I love my patients and love caring for them, but acute care isn't my favorite. I prefer stable and routine. I'm beginning to wonder if I chose the wrong profession and feel like I will never be a "good nurse". I know 2 months is too soon to move to another job, but I don't know how much longer I can stand to he miserable. Advice please!!
