I don't have any tips, but more questions. I graduated in December of 05 and I am in my second job, and could leave it today!! What is wrong with me???? I can't explain it. When we were graduating I didn't know what kind of nursing I wanted to go into, it was suggested by many peers and cllinical instructors to go into ER. So I did. I liked it but I didn't get the patient contact I enjoyed. It was go, go, go and I would get into trouble for talking to patients. It was stupid, there wouldn't even be anyone waiting but we had to move them out! I felt like I was in prison when I was there and I was so burnt out in 3 months, that it was a relief when I got into a car accident and had to take some time off. However, they played dirty and I found another job. Now I am with woman and children (the one thing I really wanted to do). Well, the politics and the people I work with are horrible. My lead is TERRIBLE and again, I feel miserable at work. I have never been so stressed out. These places play so dirty and are so dishonest and I find that really hard as well. I don't want to quit because I think it will look so bad I will never get a job, but what do you do when you are not where you feel happy and it's early in your career? I am just waiting for my 90 days to move to another department. Is something wrong with me??
