Okay, I quit. I've had it. These past two weeks at work have sucked so royally I can't even begin to speak about them. I've come home every morning, lay in bed, and sat there thinking to myself, 'is there anything else out there for me to do?'
Reading threads like, 'get my girl down here...' coupled with the constant stream of fire I seem to be under at work is just getting to be too much. I find myself constantly asking myself...IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT?? I don't sleep well, I'm depressed all the time, and my irritable bowel syndrome is totally off the charts...an obvious sign of stress.
I just keep wondering why in the hell I stay in a job that just makes me want to blow my brains out on a regular basis. I dunno...things just seem to be getting really bad in nursing, really quickly. It's like in the past couple of weeks there has been this huge downward spiral and things are going from bad to worse. Look at the posts on this board!!
I'm tired. I'm sick. I don't enjoy going to work any more. I want to have a normal life and spend holidays and nights with my husband. Know what I fantasize about? Having a job where I sit behind a desk, get a scheduled one hour lunch break every day, come home by sunset every night, and NEVER, EVER work during the holidays. Yes, I'd probably be bored silly...but I just have this nagging thought in the back of my mind that won't go away...IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT???
I've decided to start job-hunting. Maybe I'll go work in a nice lab somewhere and look at stuff under a microscope all day. Maybe I'll go back to school and get my MBA or something...there has to be something out there that's rewarding, challenging, mentally stimulating, and scientifically fascinating that doesn't require me ending up feeling like crap all the time.
