OMG OMG please help! You're absolutely right bedside is a death. Honestly a quick one for me. I'm desperate and constantly researching to get out. Your comment gives me hope!

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It really does mean a lot. I pray my life doesn't have to end because I hate my career now. That may seem like overboard to some people but you spend a lot of days at work and for it to make you feel lifeless, constantly shaking and hoping that you get through the shift fine, how could I have energy to want to live my life? Especially when I feel like I worked hard to suffer, unknowingly. I'm definitely looking for other doors to open trust me. That's been my mission since the day I worked as a nurse. The day I felt perfectly fine was before being a nurse. I was a nurses assistant. I'm so happy that you are handling things well.

Thank you so so much. That would be extremely helpful and I really appreciate you willing to share. [email protected]

Thank you so much for sharing. It definitely helps in letting me know that there is a possibility of making it out. Are you OK to share the job title? Do you enjoy it or atleast not hate it? I can totally understand the reason you went into the field but for the money, I still wouldn't do bedside. It's just so much stress that it isn't worth it all.

Yes I totally understand. I'm trying to find a healthy strategy because I took a leap of faith and left once before but it turned out to be worse which I couldn't believe and now have PTSD from.The cycle just continued. Fear is eating me up. I just don't know what else:(

Thank you for your response and concern. Unfortunately, I have and it didn't help because it's the job. My job is making me feel this way so no matter what I do, feeling depressed, upset and hopeless in my career is what is leading Me to this path. I was perfectly fine before. At this point I'm actually afraid of bothering people with this. I just have no where else to look to

currently here because I have felt the exact same way since I became a nurse in 2019. I'm trying, fighting for my life every day because I really want to sleep and not wake up. I went through hell the beginning and I thought I would finally rest or be OK but no. I'm severely and constantly stressed. I'm looking for a low stress nursing job and I don’t know what. I just don't want to feel that all the year I worked hard for this degree was useless. I'm afraid working as a nurse is going to lead to me ending my life. I just want to rest ?

Hi, are you liking the job? I'm really burnt out from nursing and before I decide to completely leave this setting, they have an opening for an outpatient position and I'm thinking about applying. I'm looking for something less stressful where I can enjoy or be fine going in, not hate my job, cry and depressed every day.

Hi, thank you so much for caring to ask. Honestly I'm not sure how I'm doing. I'm trying to survive and each day & night just crying to God. I'm trying to last at my job atleast until next Summer for a specific reason but there are so many things happening, like to tear me Down so bad. I'm so stressed that it's starting to affect me more physically. Panic attacks through the roof. The day that I will see nursing as a good career and not feel I made a detrimental mistake, I can't wait. That position is very cool. I have definitely been carrying out research on school nursing and thinking about it. Thank you so much!

I've been looking into those, doing so much research. But from what I've heard, outpatient can be havoc too or not much better. Either that or doesn't pay enough. I would hope to keep my pay which isn't a bunch or more. I only have one more chance to leave where I am so I want it to be the best option. I will Definitely look into that and I am very happy for you. 12 years ??. Wow. You are very strong person to have did it that long. Thank you so much for sharing.

Uuuum, I won't judge. I can totally understand people are different but please, please, please direct me to this job. This is literally my dream job. I'd rather do the same old "boring" thing as long as the pay is good too, then fi be stressed the heck out. Some people like stress and things

Aww thank you. Trust me, believe it or not this is the best bedside job out of all. They are all the same. I just deal with it as much as I can for now and pray. That's why I'm hoping that within the next year I find something from bedside and better to where I'm not miserable and leave all this behind me.

Hi, honestly, not liking it is an understatement. It is the worst experience I have ever had in my life. Many times I was so close to suicide because of it. My expectations were that I would enjoy taking care of people as I did going into the career and live my life to the fullest doing so. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't know the truth until we're in. Of course I didn't expect it to be perfect but I definitely did not expect to be mentally and emotionally traumatized, defeated, destroyed, every negative way to describe it that you can possibly think of. I put my absolute all in nursing to be taken 50 steps back in my life, that's really how it feels at the bedside. I wish I could tell you all I went through in a year because of bedside nursing and I'm hoping it's just the bedside instead of the field in general. This stress isn't worth it at all. Yes, the only beauty is that it is broad because otherwise, no. No matter what I do, no matter how much fun I have or care for myself, working as a bedside nurse takes it away. I feel empty and like I don't exist. I feel normal outside of work then when I have to go in, it's all downhill from there. I've never experienced such misery to the point I felt so much peace thinking I wouldn't wake up again.

trust me, I'm definitely doing as much research as possible. Thank you so much for the extra info. I follow a page that's all about remote nursing and have a membership for jobs that I can apply to so I'm just searching for a good one for me. The more information the better. I definitely take this serious and seriously pray and wish everyday that atleast within the next year, I find a happy way out of the bedside
