My job is making me sick. Bad boss, coworkers with no boundaries, everyone sucking up to the new president, etc. It's just a bad situation all around.
I've been an RN for nearly 30 years and I've been in the same specialty for about a decade (it's an administrative position). Due to my non-clinical role, going back to the bedside is not an option. It would be like starting all over again, and I'm too old for that. I've been having a hard time trying to find something I'm qualified for because what I've been doing is so specialized. I love what I do but they are really sucking the life out of me and it is affecting my sleep and my day to day functioning.
I don't want to go back to school at this point, so that option is out. I'm considering just leaving nursing altogether and finding a job where I can just go to work, put in my hours, and go home. Preferably a job working with animals.
Anyone willing to share if you just got so sick of a well paying job in order to do something else?
