Nursing is increasingly becoming a more stressful field and definitely is not for everyone. It's better to realize this now than when you have more invested. Personally, I loved one-on-one patient care, but that was a long time ago when the patient's needs came first. Now it seems to be 90% paper/computer work/litigation prevention. Ask if your school has a subscription to BRIDGES, a web site that helps a person explore different occupations. My daughter is a college freshman and has found it to be an excellent resource.

Take care of yourself. It is ok to do that. I haven't worked at a paid nursing job since we moved overseas and started our family - 21+ years ago! That makes me really old. I have thought about going back and working hospice after a refresher course, but then just the thought of the magnitude of the responsibility it entails stresses me out, so it's probably not a good idea. I could do mental health nursing, but my own issues would get in the way.

Relax.

Blessings,

Chris A.
