Continue with your RN there are other options when you do that. You can do research or a job that you don't have patient care and still be a nurse. Also you should see a therapist who you can talk to- they will help you find ways to cope so you don't suffer before and during work. Finally when your not working do something you love! Find a hobby, get a pet- do something that makes you happy so you can look forward to your off days! Nursing takes a lot of energy and emotion to do but if you leave work at work it'll take less of a toll on your well being. You can make it through this!
Hi, I just graduated from the LPN program in June and I'm taking my boards this month and I'm getting started on the job search. I've been looking at craigslist and indeed.com but was hoping for other advice on where to look for good LPN jobs. I live in MA, on the north shore. I have a years experience as a CNA. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Jess
