PreparationH said: I want to add too, as a male in nursing, I feel like we get dealt a worse hand nearly every shift and as a fucking traveling male nurse? Bro, I'm done. Last 2 years I'd basically clock in and get abused 12 hours straight.
Violent pt? I gottem. C. Diff pt? O yea, I gottem, definitely getting the covid patient who is combative lmao. I'm over it.
That's terrible. So sorry to hear all this. I never even thought about how some patients could just be straight up abusive assholes or even violent, because I am not like that. I am a good hearted patient.
But now that you explain all this I really respect and sympathize with nurses more.
Also, you're at a point in your life where you're at your prime, and you literally have the world in front of you to do whatever you want.
Put your mind and heart into what you what to become, and you will

feevers said: There are so many different things you can do with an RN that are way different than hospital work
Just some I can think of...
School nurse Assisted living facility wellness nurse (super cushy and sometimes very high paying gig) Psych hospitals or psych human service agencies Ketamine clinic nurse Adjunct teaching nurse anesthetist Outpatient clinic Plasma clinic Addiction/MAT clinic Cruise line nurse Forensic nursing dialysis nurse Home infusions Nurse liaison Insurance clinical reviewer Hospice or hospice liaison Case management Clinical management Go to NP school while working for a company that pays for it, then make bank writing scripts
I'm not a nurse but I work in home healthcare, it's my dream job and all the nurses I work with absolutely love it. Zero stress compared to when I was working in hospitals. Depressing as fuck because of the current state of our healthcare system, and seeing patient after patient who got turned into a potato by nursing homes that locked them in a bed for a month to drain all their medicare bucks before sending them home, but at least you can be on the good side helping them get better
Also this^
Yeah, unfortunately , in America at least most Hospitals are privately owned and literally fuck the patients financially/time wise any way they can. There was a recent Netflix documentary about how this nurse murdered like 20 people by injecting them with something that couldn't be traced, before they were caught, and it was the Hospital who swept it under the rug because they didn't want a lawsuit. Did anyone see that and know what I'm talking about? It was really crazy how this nurse even pulled it off. Great show but hard to watch. cant' think of the name of it though sorry
After dealing with some pretty serious medical stuff recently, I can for sure say that many hospitals and doctors are absolute crooks, and some of them are actually evil, as in biblical evil.
However, there really are some good nurses, patients, and doctors and people out there, so just get out of the hospitals like Feevers said. A nice comfy Ketamine nurse?
PS- For real question: Ever dressed up as a sexy male nurse and did some sexy stuff? Or no?

koraks said: @PreparationH you gotta pull out of this line of work before you find something new that's worthwhile. There are two reasons for this:
1: as long as you're busy working, you simply don't have the energy & time to look for something else. So it doesn't get off the ground.
2: you're pretty traumatized by your job (understandably so) and as long as that trauma plays in the foreground, it's going to cloud your decision-making. Distancing yourself from what's happening now will give you a different perspective in which you can more clearly see what's really important to you. It'll help you to decide what you DO want in your work, instead of being preoccupied with what you DON'T want.
The more time you can take to step back from what you're doing now, the better. This is generally determined by economic factors; i.e. how long can you afford to free-wheel? A stop-gap measure could be to pull out of nursing and start working part-time in a gym, and work the bare minimum hours you require to make ends meet. Use the rest of the time to network your way towards new lines of work.

Yes I am going through a similar thing in my life right now too. It's dang near impossible to job hunt, soul search, and ground yourself when you're still working full time.
I also agree that it would be better for you to be cold and homeless than to keep working this job, because the alternative is you having suicidal thoughts. In otherwords, you might say you can't quit yet because you would lose your place to live, but you're talking about losing your life and sanity here.
I would like to strongly second Koraks advice!
