I’ve been a registered nurse for about four years (ambulatory care & I loved it but felt like I missed something not being inpatient) and been a little lost. This past year has been terrible w/ jobs & have had about 5 some contracted some just so awful the stories would blow your hair back & I had to walk out. Finally, I decided to take a telemetry inpatient nurse job & I’ve been there a month & just got another job back in ambulatory. Can some one please give me advice of what I should do.

I think it's really a question only you can answer. It sounds to me like you prefer ambulatory, so it might be worth moving back to that.

I get it. Nursing is just such a tough profession nowadays with the pandemic and all. That on top of expectations with patient satisfaction and workload, it’s hard to find the reward and remember why we chose the profession in the first place. BUT, the reward is still there. You need to find the passion and remind yourself the reason why you got into it in the first place. For me, I was fortunate enough to keep finding the reward that pushes me to go back to work everyday. Enough to believe that it is never about the money or the salary but the people you work with, and the difference you can make at the end of the day -Because this will be your legacy.
