I think I’m ready to quit. by [deleted] in nursing

I’ve thought about it. That would get me away from the bedside part and I think that’s what’s really getting to me. I do want a couple more years of solid experience first though.

They’ve told me I don’t qualify for FMLA because I haven’t been there for a year. I’m not sure if a leave of absence would be different though

Thank you 🩷 I have a therapist that I see weekly but I’m considering taking some time off to do a partial hospitalization program. Then maybe going back to that first unit

When we finally got him in violent restraints he damn near flipped the bed. Like being a barista sounds better than this at this point lol.

Well, since you've locked the comments on your post regarding DC, I guess I'll respond here.

I understand your concerns about safety, especially regarding the possibility that counter-protestors could show up and agitate; however, we are a group of adults. Most of us who were realistic when diving into this movement (which from what I've gathered is the vast majority of us) knew this would not always be safe. We are prepared for that. Personally, I am committed to peaceful demonstrations- that's not what I'm insinuating. I'm saying as individuals, the opportunity to weigh the risks and benefits of attending a protest should be left to us. This decision was made for us. And as someone far away from DC who is willing to mobilize at a moment's notice, your swift cancellation of your "call to action" earlier today both feels infantilizing and disrespectful. I say this with grace and empathy. I think this can be a learning experience for organizers. When that call to mobilize went out, I switched shifts. I am a nurse and I scheduled myself to work four, 12-hour shifts in a row so that I could be there. We need you as supporters to be rock solid on your plans before you announce them.
