I work in NYC as a care manager at an insurance company. I make $54.00 an hour which is average for my job in NYC.

I would say try to stay the year if you're able. Most jobs prefer a year hospital experience. The education patient care in the hospital gives you will make you more prepared and educated for whatever area you choose to transition to next. Try to focus on all the good you're doing for your patients in the hospital. What do you feel are your strengths? What do you bring to the table? Value yourself as a nurse, try to hold your head high when you're at work knowing what a difficult job you have yet you still manage to do! Still, your mental emotional health is your priority above all. When you think about leaving the hospital setting, and the relief that washes over you is stronger than any need you feel to stay, consider changing jobs. There are jobs in the hospital setting less stressful than the floor. Is that an option for you at some point? I wish you luck and happiness in whatever you choose for yourself!
