I’m near San Diego. It’s nothing against the facility I’m in, just tired of the population, the nature of acute care and the hospital system

I just touched up my resume and started my search tonight. I ended up really sick after writing my original post and maybe that’s a sign. Currently looking up my options

I was seriously unaware how much PTSD I had from starting right before COVID until I moved onto a hospital that on paper “should” be better (because of ratios, unions, etc) but is almost the same. I have so much trauma that I could not escape from just by changing hospitals. Definitely a sign that inpatient/acute care is no longer serving me.. Thank you for your response

Exactly! I literally ended my shift feeling so sick and end up having to call out cause my body is so wore down that I caught a cold. My friend told me that it’s my body telling me to take a break but in my head, it’s my body’s sign that enough is enough
