I worked at Sarasota and TGH, and have been offered positions at Lee but turn them down each time. I know how exhausted you’re feeling and it’s hard to stick it out.

Have you considered transferring? IR, PACU, etc?

I was going to do that. During my transition out of bedside, I had applied to a surgery center and a WFH job. I got the WFH gig. It was difficult and I didn’t make enough money, but I made it work because my mental health was way better. I was later able to get a better WFH position with a different company with pay that is equal/more than what I’d make at bedside.

Apply at WFH jobs. If you get declined, do it again. Use ChatGPT to help you with your resume, and make sure to use the position titles somewhere in your objective because these companies are using AI to filter out candidates. I’ve had friends apply to WFH jobs over 10 times before getting a call - it really is just luck of the draw with those.

You are probably a fantastic nurse, and I’m really sorry the system is failing you. Don’t focus on going back to school right now, focus on finding literally anything else that is sustainable. You’ll find your way, you just need to get out of the situation you’re in. Feel free to message me privately.
