Honestly, outpatient! I’ve worked in hospitals my whole career from med Surg to ICU, and administration. Recently, I’ve taken an RN outpatient coordinator position and love it. I do have my MSN, but I love the doctors I work with and it’s definitely better.
It’s mind boggling that we educate ourselves and do what we need to do to advance and it’s getting us nowhere! Toxic work environments, staffing issues etc!! What is going on!!! Them school loans still thriving though!!
Chief
I feel like it is pretty much the same everywhere.
Pennsylvania is the worst
No you're Definitely not the only one , I'm burnt out with the fooliness as well.
The state of nursing is really in a horrible place right now.
Get out of nursing while you can. If it's healthcare u like then do Administration.
Administrative nurses also are dealing with toxic environments . It is no longer the healthcare environment I started in many years ago.
Maybe consider computer science
This is exactly why I started my own business with a reputable 50 year old company, that is still aligned holistically with health and wellness.
I wish i was brave to follow your path, you were once a compassionate nurse then these staffing and other workplace related issues make you burn out about your profession once you gave all your heart for. I am practicing as a NP now advanced from tele nurse for 7years. Being a mid level provider, you still have to work like a middleman that you are as a RN. I am saying this just because you don’t want to dig deeper in this field and i am telling you it isn’t any different from what you know. It seems like your heart couldn’t tolerate it anymore, take some time off and enjoy the life.
It is pretty much everywhere but may be considered public health with NGOs
I am in the same boat … recommendations
I been a nurse for 27 years waiting to take my FNP certification, and plan on working outside the hospitals. Over the 27 years of nursing I have realized that mental health is a real thing with nurses. I've never seen so much hate and the exploiting and destruction some have gone through to destroy nurses. I have dealt with this for 27 years. I have noticed there are so many un happy nurses who need mental health services. I'm not saying all nurses. I am saying there are some nurses. Anyone else experience this horrible injustice coming from the inside?
I think this applies to most professions in Healthcare and not just nursing.
Yup… I’m choosing to leave the field after 20+ years
What kind of jobs do nurses have to go to when leaving the field ? I find that my resume with 21 years Healthcare experience doesn't EVER get a callback as most places think I'm over qualified and don't even bother... any ideas ? What kinds of jobs are you taking ?
I'm am burnt out by the ridiculous 20 to 1 patient to staff ratios. I talked to our DON about it as my unit is total care and the other units are smaller units and are only 10 to 1 because each unit has 2 aides (to make it fair). I was told it was doable. Today, I put an application in for domino's pizza. Next week marks my 5th year at this job in particular. I'll be taking a 10 dollar an hr pay cut but it will be well worth it.
Ever tried home health? Some agencies are better than others obviously, but we always treated our CNAs with respect. The service that you provide is so needed in the home setting. Hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck.
I have been a Biller and BOM working back office for 20 years and the whole HC system has gone downhill. It went from working independently and laughing with coworkers, to being micromanaged and I'm currently on a 3 day suspension for the RDO overhearing a part of a conversation that included the words "coffee enema". Housekeeper amazed I don't know road names and drive by landmarks, gave examples and he asked how I tell people how to get to my house. I said "caddy corner to the place that gives coffee enemas." True story. We were talking in MY office. She micromanages me so much I cannot perform my job to the best of my ability. She allowed the man who sexually harassed a bunch of us, despite written statements, to continue working with no action stated "but the staff like it". Yet, here I am, suspended. I no longer enjoy HC. I am tired of bullies. I am tired of carrying everyone's weight. I am tired.
I'm currently working as a Registered Medical Assistant full-time at a specialty office and doing the work of 3 MA's while enrolled in school full-time online to finish my BSN and burned out with reaching out to HR over the staffing issues and being penalized for my attendance and not pulling my weight. I don't want to not finish school with as much time I've invested.. but having RNs tell me that pursuing my RN isn't worth it is so discouraging.
Same here. Bachelors in nursing, 25 years nursing experience including leadership and management of nine home care locations and staff. I can't even count the number of times our leadership changed, or the company name in the past 15 years, but the new VP came in completely if the mindset that everyone was ignorant and wrong because they didn't do things exactly like her. Micromanaging, toxic, bullying and absolutely uncalled for. Confidentially sharing that with the leader or her boss did zero except keep it coming only hidden better. So I prayed about it, and the next meeting we had I was told that everything was my fault. I resigned. Enough. I am not an idiot. I am not a poor leader because I have empathy and actually still care more about the patient than the numbers. But now, I am too overqualified to work from home , because of arthritis i can't go work a floor for 12 hours, I can't step into another agency because I worked so long for this one I guess they think something was wrong with me for leaving and not retiring there. Now I wonder if there was. Maybe I should have just taken it and kept going. I feel like I have been beat down all over again with this job market. Healthcare has definitely not changed for the better, not for the best for the patient or us.
The only one standing in your way is you 😉😊
Don’t focus on the details of what it is right now… Think bigger picture
Good for you for taking a stand, and being willing to make a change for yourself. Some roles are not appreciated. I hope it goes well!
I feel like this in my gut right now! In my opinion, assisted living private pay is even worse then Long term care nursing homes! I thought assisted living would not only be easier on my back ( thinking it was actually just some light duties/assistance) but a better environment, assuming that the residents would have family that was more active in their lives and advocating for them?! Nope, it’s actually just long term care, but with RCP’s not actually CNA’s, so it’s the blind leading the blind!
