Many aspect of life are filled with uncertainty, and working in healthcare is no exception. The job market is volatile and fickle. Some patients don't get better, and some die. Beloved colleagues come and go. We don't always know where our careers are headed, and sometimes when one door closes we don't know where or how the next one will open. How do you cope with career-related uncertainty, and maintain your personal equilibrium when working in an industry that's always changing and evolving?

It can be hard day to day, but I find there are enough positive experiences that it keeps me going. I'm fortunate in that a lot of patients are on the mend, and we can help them get back to a better quality of life. But I'm sure in some areas that's just not the case. I suppose everyone just has to look inside and find the things that provide satisfaction and a desire to just keep going.

You are right about that OP. There are just so many factors and we really cannot predict life. I have really learned to role with the punches. I have watched as people who couldn't keep up with the changes got left behind and I never wanted to be that person so I learned to pivot quickly and roll with the punches.

Retire!
