Hey! I was just looking to get opinions and/or anyones experiences from switching from a hospital to a home care agency. I'm currently working on a surgical inpatient floor at a hospital in Ontario and have been for a little over a year now. I'm fortunate enough to have gotten my job right out of nursing school and told myself I'd give myself a year, and if I still wasn't happy I'd start looking for something new. Fast forward, and here we are. I find myself dreading going into work, and am just exhausted with the intensity and high-stress environment of a medsurg floor. I love all the dressing changes, ostomies, IVs and technical skills I get to do. But don't to actually enjoy these things when I've got so many patients, tests, orders, admissions etc. flying at me all at the exact same second. I know home care is not stress free, so I'm not expecting that. I just want to know if people have found it worth the pay-cut (at least here in Ontario), driving, and the organization that goes into each day. Any insight is welcomed and appreciated! Thanks guys ?
