Riskiest Decision

Published

Hello all!

I am very curious to know...what would one say is the riskiest decision they have ever made in nursing? Any input would be greatly appreciated :-)

I made the decision to quit a job when I kept getting floated to areas out of my expertise. I had nothing lined up as far as another job. I just quit.

Some of you brave nurses here would think nothing of that decision, but for a 50 year old, overweight, gray haired granny, it took alot of guts.

It was risky because there was no guarantee I would find another job. I didn't care. It all worked out. IT was a decision I'm proud of, but for me it was a huge risk.

Anytime you report to duty and accept an assignment of 6-8 acute care patients you make the riskiest of decision on your license but basically those 6-8 human lives are in your hands.. literally... and thats riskiest :D

Resigning from a high paying job because I have morals that the place lacked with no backup job. Winging it!!!
