Thank you so much for this post. I have been in nursing for almost 10 years as an LPN. I have worked in Med-surg, peds, clinic, home health/hospice, and SNF/LTC. I have attempted to return for my RN 3 times and consistently found myself withdrawing and uninterested. You were able to verbalize exactly how I feel. I stay in nursing because it is what I know and I am good at what I do, but I do not enjoy it and haven't for a long time. I've tried so many different routes to see if its just the specialty but, I have come to realize I dislike so many things about the basics of nursing. It is just not in my interest any more. I continue to care for my patients the best I can, but have began the process of moving into a completely different field. Thank you for helping me not feel like a failure for no longer enjoying nursing. Good luck in your future endeavors!
