Hi there, first post here everyone. So I need some advice/cheering up? I have worked as a med surg nurse for 3 years (since I graduated). I am seriously beginning to hate my job. It just gives me anxiety. I’ve been told so many times that our floor has a VERY high acuity compared to other med surg units. Our manager is trying to get our floor labeled as a “step down” unit so our ratios change.Our patients belong on a TCU floor half the time and are not med/surg appropriate. Anyways- back on track... is it just medsurg? Seriously?! I feel like I NEVER get a chance to breathe in a shift, let alone chart assessments. I get anxiety thinking about going to work anymore. I cry on my way to work. I tell my husband every day how miserable I am. What does everyone recommend? What other nursing could I do out there that everyone likes?What advice do you have for me?
thanks! ?
