Hi all! I recently decided to make the transition from the hospital to an office position. I left my hospital job due to some personal anxiety pertaining to the position. With that being said, the...
@Grengemly thank you for your response, I appreciate it! I’m glad you’re in an area that’s better for you! I’m hoping I feel the same way when I start soon, it makes me feel a little less...
@Hoosier_RN do you think if I were to find myself not liking the office setting that I would be able to return to the acute care setting if I were in a better mental state? I know job availability in...
Oh okay, that makes sense! I can just add the original post for this to the other thread if that is easier, I’m not quite sure how to contact the mods since I am fairly new.
@Wuzzie for this post I was more curious about the possibility of returning to the hospital after having an office job, while in the other one I was trying to ask if office experience would be enough...
I’m currently transitioning into an office job after working in the hospital as a new grad for about 4.5 months. I know it’s a little bit of a quick job change from the hospital setting but due to...
I love this response! Eventually everyone finds the right place for them! I’m currently in the process of doing so and even though that is very anxiety inducing in it’s own, it’s a step in the...

I honestly haven't really heard much about more of the "office-type" jobs for healthcare systems, but it is something I would like to look into a little more. Do you have any resources I could use to...
Luckily with one of the offers it would only be four days a week, which is nice. They've been pretty upfront and honest so far about the hours and things like that as well which has been helpful. How...
I've heard this a lot from other nurses, but I feel like some of the anxiety I have isn't necessarily from being a new nurse. I hear people say it's part of being in your first year which is very...
Do you think in any office setting there's this kind of opportunity to learn and grow? In the place I'm highly considering now, I would do more office stuff like rooming and checking out patients...
@Wuzzie
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it! Luckily I’m in a spot where I don’t have too many bills and no kids, which is helpful financially. I’ve been lucky enough to find a few...
I’m a new nurse and took a job on a busy medsurg floor and started in early June. After almost four months of constant anxiety, seeing therapists and having some medication prescribed, I still feel...
