:ancong!: on both your new job and engagement!! 2 happy life events in 1 day!:anpom::anpom:

I know this post has been started awhile back. But I just wanted to say this badly. During my short stay at the LTC, after every death, I felt guilty. They were all hospice, death was expected but still every time after it happened, it left me feeling horrible. Feeling like I didn’t do enough and could’ve done better. I have tried debriefing with coworkers but didn’t seem to help me much. Before signing up to be a nurse, I knew that as a nurse I would see this. But learning about it in school is different than experiencing it.

How did your interview go if you don't mind sharing. I am also going to be interviewing at the center tomorrow.

I know its been several years since but if you don't mind would you share with us as why did you decided not to take the job offer after you interviewed. Reason I am asking is I've had the phone interview and have an in person interview tomorrow at the center.

I understand how you feel. I've only worked a couple months and have never felt so stupid myself. But like some users have posted, don't feel that way. You were able to get through nursing school and have worked for 8 years as a nurse, you have proven your self as "not stupid" Like others have said, you just haven't found, "the right fit" yet, whether it be nursing-related or not. Reading all these supportive posts is very therapeutic for me as well. Bedside nursing is very stressful and so emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting.
