I have some anxiety issues and realized I would not be able to work in a hospital setting. Something about the beeping and other warning sounds just sets me off. Right now I am school nurse which has it's own type of stress. I have also worked in public health, low stress, great co-workers, excellent benefits, somewhat low pay. It was a very nice job though. I have also worked as an occupational health nurse for a large multinational corporation. It was prn but I could have worked everyday if I wanted. You are not a failure and there is some nursing out there for you.
