I did quit my job due to Covid uncertainties. I am able to financially and truly felt and still feel it was the right decision for me. I might go back to nursing later when we have not only a better understanding of this virus but some ammunition to fight with.

I agree with the female dominated workforce being a huge part of the reason that nurses, teachers, etc. don't have an equitable pay/benefit/severance history. Women generally don't advocate for themselves like males do. We are different and play by the male rule. We expect people to notice and appreciate the sacrifices we are making , trying to not come off as greedy. We are told to be a part of a team with very little imput that is even considered. Pizza parties and travel mugs are the bonus and reusing PPE if available are the cost containment measures.

I,too,am a student although I have been an LPN for quite awhile and I know how shaken you feel from this.You have just received an invaluable learning experience that you can apply for many years in your nursing career.NEVER become complacent with patient care,always keep focused on task at hand.You will make mistakes EVERYONE does including your instructors,learn,accept responsibilty and forgive yourself!!!!Nursing needs people with consciences' for patient's sakes!!!Don't give up!!!!:wink2:
