After 9 years in the profession plus 4 years of college I am finally getting out. I am so burnt out and developed Anxiety and Depression. I went into this career loving what I did and now I feel like I can’t take care of patients. This is a Thankless job. Between evil nurse managers, horrid wanna be god doctors, and other backstabbing nurses, I am left with nothing but regret. I wish I could turn back time and change my major. I am now going to Esthetician school and then Massage Therapy school. I want to open up my own business. I hope anyone getting into Nursing school reads this and sees how horrible the profession is. I worked nights, weekends, holidays and double shifts. I missed out on so much of my daughters life. The pay is supposed to be so great but I find that it really is not for all the things I missed out on with my family and now with being almost disabled with my Anxiety and Depression. I do like to help people but now with my new professions I can do that and not have to worry about seeing people in pain, people dying or dead people. I do not have to clean up feces, vomit, urine, and blood. And I can get some respect. Respect is something I never got as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelors Degree!!!
