Is anybody else sick of the nursing field or is it just me? I really hate to say it, but I’d love to know what else to get into as far as what other jobs are out there that pay around the same as nurses if not more because I just don’t know.

I'm so close to retirement that I'm trying to hang in there but it's hard. I loved nursing when I first started and it was about giving care and not so focused on rating and money.

I too have only 1 yr until retirement!
I don't have to tell you what has changed!! I have worked many various places from ICU to HOSPICE!! I LOVED being a nurse. Doing what I was trained to do CARING FOR PTS💖 I now work in a psychiatric SNF. Just went from private to corporate! If all medical fields are focused on $$$$ Who will take care of the pts ??? Who will be there for them?? Holding the hand of a dying pt or holding a scared child or just talking TO with pts not AT them.NOT endless miles of busy redundant paperwork just busy work to make more $$ for the fat cats who could give @@#% LESS for HUMANITY 😾 I hope the next generation of nurses Remember PATIENTS BEFORE PAPERWORK!
Whewww just had to get that off my chest 💖🙋‍♀️ THANKS FOR BEING A NURSE💖😀

In my next life I am going to be a dog groomer and have my work facility space located on the same land my house is on. I will be my OWN boss, set my own schedule and block my days off in advance when I need it.
I know a woman in the rural town I live in after I retired that has this exact set up and she’s raking in the money. 💰😊

Make your resume an ATS(Applicant Tracking System) and you'll get so many jobs to choose from. Most companies no longer go by MS-Word documents they use ATS software because it goes through the resume to show if one has what that company is looking for before a human recruiter goes through it. I get contacted with so many recruiters every week because of my ATS resume.

I know what you mean, I'm really sick of bedside work and I know I'm not offering as good of care as I once did. I just don't have the patience for it anymore.
