Thanks for the advice! Take care and good luck.

Wave Watcher..thank you so much for that! I feel like I am losing my mind over this. Means a lot to know that I am not alone.

@ surgnurse450. You know new nurses in these roles? I can't find any that don't require more experience.

That's what so frustrating. I've been in for a year. It's just not getting better. I hope you are right about finding one I like! And good luck to you with your anxiety. If it's already better after 6 months, you'll be just fine!

Thanks for your reply mtngrl. So did you just fortunately stumble upon the case management jobs? I have a year experience in a non-hospital job but one year doesn't seem to be enough.

I am scared to death of everything related to nursing! Patients, med admin, doing something wrong, not knowing what to do in an emergency, etc. It's a second career and I am miserable. I went into nursing because I have always been intrigued with the medical field and I love taking care of people. I was hoping and praying that nursing school would desensitize my fears and let me do something I really want to do but it hasn't. I can't take being afraid to go to work every single day much longer. What else can I do with this degree? (BSN.) I love the medical field, just the non-clinical aspect. Please help.
