I realize this post was more than a year ago, but I in a similar position. I took an internship position in home care, and I have really struggled to learn how to learn and grow as a nurse and at the same time learn the ins and outs of home care. I dread going to work, and I am not sleeping or eating well as a result. My clinical advisor approached me because she has noticed this in me, and because my managers have not been happy with my work. We discussed whether or not this job is a good fit for me, and I asked her if I could give it a try for a few more weeks before I make a decision. Despite my efforts to find a way for this to work for me I still dread each day and am heavily leaning towards giving up this job. However, I'm terrified of what that might mean for me. I'm worried that potential employers will look negatively on the fact that I will probably be leaving after only 6 months, and I kind thinking what if nursing isn't where I should be. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated either from the poster or others. Thank you!
