I honestly don't know what to do :/

If you do something you love you will never work a day in your life. I say go with your gut and do what you have always wanted to do. Maybe the psych. position is paying less now but that may not always be the case, and i have learned that money in nursing does not equal happiness with your job. Good luck!

Hi! I'm in the same situation... I'm in meg surg and can never see myself doing this long term. Was just offered a ft psych position working with kids, I've loved psych before I became an RN. Needless to say I'm taking it. Life is too short to be anything but happy. I hate dealing with poop pee overworked underpaid working midnight a suck!!! Good luck if you love psych go with your heart!!
