Thank you for sharing. I graduated at the top of my class from an accelerated BSN program and 6 months in on a high acuity PCU - I am coming home in tears, losing sleep, wanting to quit and go back to my old career. I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life by going to nursing school and just don’t know what to do. Thank you for sharing your experience, I feel a little less alone now!

Thanks for sharing your journey!!!

How can we get more females in urology? I can't find any female providers. Of course it's sheer torture being a urology patient. We've got to get better.

Did you lose any hair? A lot of people are saying they have hair loss but I think that has to do with them not eating enough not the drug itself

How do get your doctor to prescribe it? ❤ thanks love

Thank you for all this info I just started Wegovy this will be helpful 🫶🏻

I'm an LVN I am working Urology for 8 years I freaking hate it I freaking hate it doing Foley's and doing bladder scans and seeing pubes all over the place with urine all over the Chux

I Love your videos!! Thank you ❤

I quit and didn't give 2 week notice

How did you feel when you felt like a "crack head?"

Ya I took Phentermine for lost 36 pds I did good..I was on it 8 months.than got my Tummy Tuck lipo☺️☺️wat ever works for u..gd luck..

I know... nursing sucks not what I expected

Thank you for this video! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I’m a new grad and first job is at bedside and after a month decided to quit because it’s not giving me happiness anymore. My mental state was in a mess. I was kind of feeling sad and crying the night before my shift and almost every time waking up before my alarm clock with palpitations and too much anxiety. Stayed in my orientation for 5weeks then that’s it I decided to stop. My anxiety was gone and my appetite came back after that. Maybe hospital bedside is not just for me. Hopefully I can find a place to work where even though busy but still can feel the happiness and accomplishments in my career as a nurse.

Does it make you feel like you have energy?

Hi! I’m looking forward to hearing more about your journey! Best wishes on your journey!

I'm about to start Wegovy and would love to have you as a support buddy if possible. I'm so nervous. Would love to have someone for support 🙏🏾

Thank you!

🥰🥰

i'm so glad I came across your page. I am a new grad RN in med surg still on orientation for one more week and feeling like I want to quit. I'm starting to hate going to work.. its just a very depressing unit and i dont love the people i work with either. I think outpatient will be my way out.

I am a fresh new grad nurse who just accepted a job in an outpatient urology clinic. Glad I found your channel❤

I’m so glad I found this video! I know it’s old, but I literally just went through the EXACT same experience but on a trauma/neuro med surg floor. It’s nice to hear someone else who can relate because I feel like a failure for not being able to stick it out “like everyone else does”. This made me feel better about my decision. Best wishes! 🩷

I’m going through this same situation right now. I’m terrified because I’m in a residency program. If I break my contract, there is a penalty fee. I just hope it’s not a lot. I hope God helps me and others through this time ♥️🙏🏼

I can’t do it anymore. I want to quit so bad but I don’t want to ruin future opportunities.

Thank you for sharing. ❤️

I'm waiting to get into an ADN program. Would I have the same options as a bsn for jobs that are not bedside you think?

I feel exactly like this right now😢. I felt so alone until today

I second what everyone is saying. This video is a godsent. I'm going through the same thing. I had 7 preceptors in 9 weeks (it was supposed to be 12 but who has the staff for that). No orientation on nights. Constant floating to other floors. Little to no help. It was taking a toll on me. I couldn't sleep anymore. The job was sucking all the joy out of my life. I asked my boss if I could go part time and she said no. I still wanted to stick it out and finish that first year. But i went back and had 3 discharges and two admissions within 30min of each other. Not one person offered help. We didnt have an aide. While I was admitting my second one, my first admission fell. Still no one helps. I decided right there I was quitting. I cried my whole way home because I felt like a failure. I honestly think I don't have what it takes to be a floor nurse. I emailed my boss the next day my letter of resignation. The relief was instantaneous. I'm still feeling like a failure but watching your video and reading these comments really helped. Thanks everyone! And congratulations on putting yourself first. Best of luck with everything.

Why are you working without benefits? That’s crazy !! 😢

Address please:)

How did you get this remote job

Dayshift is ALWAYS the hardest!! Try working weekends. It will be better or work in a doctors office.

i suggest getting an organizer! i have the laminated tote in the bone colour and i found that using an organizer helps with the structure of the bag. i bought the BOGI organizer from amazon

This video is legitimately my life right now. I’ve been a nurse on a very heavy, short staffed pulmonary/resp/medsurg mix unit for the past 6 months. I work 12 hour nights and I’m so miserable. I hate how my sleep pattern is messed up, I’m exhausted half of the time and living on energy drinks and just feeling overall burnt out. I put my two week notice in this week and am moving to a lighter nursing position. Hopefully I enjoy it more because I’m too new of a nurse to be this burnt out 😢

Nursing is brutal work. No question about it and it is definitely not for everyone.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I've been going through the same exact feelings at my new grad bedside nursing job right now. I've been there for 4.5 months just counting the days feeling like I HAVE to stay just to get experience to find another job. Thank you, you have made my decision making a bit easier.

It takes a tough skin to be a nurse.

I'm a scrub, so I know nurses are different. Do they not let you work on different floors to get the feeling of what fits with you??

Halfway through this video I nervous laughed because I felt like you were taking the words right out of my mouth. I had such a similar experience. I've been at bedside in a neuro stepdown for four months and I feel exactly the same way. Tomorrow I am interviewing at an infusion center, but I feel so guilty about not sticking it out for a year. I even tried to transfer to Med/Surg but my manager won't allow it because our union contract requires 6 months experience before you can transfer. Nightshift is killing me, my stomach hurts, I feel sad an anxious constantly. I sleep my days off away. I just feel terrible. People keep telling me to stick it out at least 6 months that it's going to get better, but I feel like it's only been getting worse. Thanks for being honest, and brave. You've really inspired me.

Listening to this reminds me of where I am right now. I'm not going to say I haven't suffered with depression and anxiety in the past. But this is a whole new level of those issues. Just looking at the calander of work nights me want to cry and gives me panic attacks. Just going to work for a "education day", which is like easy overtime, gives me PTSD. I feel like I am part of a battlefield each shift. It's almost like being in the military. I have put in some vacation days for April,July and September and I might put in more. If I don't do that, I will NOT survive this year I need! I completely understand your story!

I just quit bedside nursing after 3 years to work at an infusion center. While I appreciated the experience, I definitely don't miss it. I'm glad you were strong enough to leave soon. Life is too short to be stuck at a job you're miserable at.

Nurse for 10 years. Nursing is trash now

I’ve had this same experience girl. My life feels so weird right now. Day shift was a nightmare - I also switched to nights. Just left my first job last friday and i’ve never felt more free. trying home health care and pediatrics. 🤍

I worked tele for 9 months and it was horrendously stressful. Feeling better I resigned. I am trying to figure out what is next.

Blessings

Where did you do your nursing program?

The patient population at B.. can be challenging.

Aww, this video shows your passion for ENT specialty! I've been an RN for over a year, and I worked bedside for three shifts then quit because I knew it was not for me. I then landed a position at a primary care clinic. I room and triage patients and work alongside a nurse practitioner. I work four ten hour shifts. I don't know if I'll ever do bedside again, but I really enjoy the clinic setting. Sometimes it can be hard, but my coworkers are like family to me and are so supportive.

I knew I did not want to do bedside nursing while in nursing school. However, I felt that I “HAD TO” because nursing school said so. Got my first RN job as a new nurse in progressive care at a Fantastic hospital. 1st week was okay then as the weeks went by I felt the same way you described. Exhausted(mentally and physically), depressed, anxiety. I ended up getting sick with a sinus infection during my 3rd week working, crazy how you mentioned you wished got covid to not go into work… sadly that was my same thought process. Every shift before and after work I felt horrible and questioning if I made the right career choice. Sure enough I said I can’t do this anymore, my mental health and well being is important. This video was amazing and thank you for reminding us nurses and giving us hope that there’s other options beside bedside that we can get into!!

I feel you gurl it took me 9 years to realize bedside is just not it! I’m at a crossroads right now too! But good luck and being happy is what matters in life !

I’m sorry, but as a nurse of 20 years in ICU, these are not legitimate reasons to quit. We know this is hard, and it’s not for everyone. I wish you well and hope you find what’s best for you. 🙏🏼💕
