Thank you so much! I am trying really hard to keep going. I just hit my 6 months. I think it’s just the unit that I’m on that’s really stressful. I love working with people and I love seeing my patients get better and go home. I think the workload is just way too heavy. My unit is mainly liver, so we are always giving blood and dealing with confused patients. I’m really thinking of looking for a clinic job, I’ve been trying to look but no luck yet.

Like other than bedside nursing what other type of job would I be able to get with only 6 months of a bedside nurse experience

I'm working on a tele/med surg floor. I just feel like I get overwhelmed by the workload, even though the most Ive had is 5 patients, since most of my patients have a high acuity. Some days I have left work feeling satisfied with my self and some I feel like I didn't do my best job because of how busy I am. When I get home I over think everything and I'm not able to sleep. I really do hope I'm just feeling this way because I'm new and not because this isn't for me.

Hi, I have been an RN for about 6 months now. I am in a residency program and have been on my own for a month now. I am having a really rough time and have been thinking of quitting. I can't eat, I can't sleep. I have been wondering what other career options I have since I have only been out of school for a couple of months. I really need some advice.
