I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Anyone else seeing a huge failure at the administrative/leadership level at their respective hospitals? And/or a general “slacking off” of Covid precautions, even as cases are spiking again?

I know this hurts me when it comes to consulting (performance wise I always get great reviews, but finding my next project is where I struggle). How can I improve?
