RN202one

Thank you both for your responses, I appreciate the feedback. I am at a crossroads because in addition to being overwhelmed as a nurse manager, I am taking care of my aging mother and my family. I really want to enjoy my job but not sure I do anymore. I think my quality of life may be better back at the bedside.

I have been an RN for 14 years and have worked as a nurse manager for almost 2 years. I am starting to feel like I might want to return to floor nursing, med/surf, something with 3 12s per week. I feel like in my mgmt role I work constantly, have no life, and the expectations are way too high. I am never going to get everything done that they expect...it's just crazy...I really just want my 4 days off again. My self care is zero, I never do anything for myself. ?? I also don't really feel like I make a difference, I think I prefer to take care of pts??
