It all started when I met this jolly old elf in a red suit....

I said "beam me up Scotty, not beam me up snotty!"

You need to take as much time as you need right now for you, you need to get a counsellor to vent on that listens without judging and that is empathetic. More than anything else you have to realise you are human. You are allowed to make mistakes because you are human. Nurses are not machines that do not feel emotions, we are the most feeling of human beings. Once you have taken adequate time to heal your soul, then you can decide what you want to do, it may be you just need a change inside your profession, there are lots of choices besides bedside nursing if this is what you decide to do. This isn't an overnight thing, it is going to take time, and you need to be patient and take the time or this will crop up again when you least expect it. your workplace should have a EAP they are a god send. We are our worst enemies at times, and we beat up on ourselves more than anybody else would. Honey many many of us have been in similiar positions to where you are this very minute, you are stronger and more resourceful than you think. Tomorrow will be a better day than today, and the day after that will be even better. Trust yourself and allow the incident to strengthen you. Postive vibes being sent your way.

My comment, his reasons are his reasons, it is not anyone's business but his. You want the job apply... not your concern if they don't want it.

My feelings exactly but, be very careful if this is truly what you are because you are at risk. You are at risk for burn-out. The patients will love you, but your co-workers and management may look at your practise from a different perception than you have. When you nurse with your heart, when you do get hurt, and when your wings are clipped it takes a very very long time to heal. Wear some type of armour over the heart on your sleeve, just a word or two of advice from someone who believes like you and has for the over 20 years she has nursed.
