A friend of mine was let go last week and I was so upset by it. I don't think I've ever had a coworker that I was friendly with be let go! Has anyone else experienced this and how did you feel? I'm a bit annoyed with management because I think she was better at her job than some others that are still here.

I don't want to sound harsh but that's not your battle to fight. It's sad that she lost her job but you gotta keep doing yours. You cannot make another person's situation your burden to carry in the career field. Remember you got your own bills to pay. Keep in touch with your friend but also continue showing up and working as you normally do.

Yes I have lost a number of coworkers I was friendly with in layoffs. I don’t know the circumstances with your coworker but it might not have been about whether she was good at her job or not.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
