I am at a hard place in my career now. I have been a RN since 2004. I did NICU for 4 years. I then did research nursing for 5 years. I am now a hospice nurse and I just feel like I can't do it anymore. I am a mother of 2 elementary age kids. Would love to actually be there to raise them. I am seriously considering a career change. I have had it with the mounts of paperwork, carrying everyone's burdens an issues and taking full responsibility for everything. I want the simplicity in life again. My 5 year old asked me yesterday, "Why did you become a nurse? You're always with other peoples families and not ours." And I thought to myself she is right. Why was I just getting home at 9pm??? I don't know what I like anymore I just try to survive day to day.
