Girl, we teachers have the same deal from the public right now. We went from heroes to “ungrateful whiners” so quickly in the court of public opinion. Congrats!! This sounds like an amazing decision for you. I left the brick and mortar classroom a few years ago to work from home as a virtual teacher, and I absolutely love the flexibility! It’s amazing to have time to feel like yourself again and pursue other interests in your spare time. ❤️

Perhaps the conversation also needs to be had regarding these essential fields (healthcare, education, etc.) being better compensated!

Exactly. I worked as a special Ed assistant for 10+ years. I quit in order make sure my two youngest got appropriate DHOH services, which were provided more than an hour away. I miss it so much and my kids are back in our local schools (kind of, I am barreling the district currently for many different things including placement), but unfortunately my district doesn’t respect the health and safety of students or staff and as much as I want to go back to work, I cannot under these circumstances. Thank you for still teaching. I have a lot of respect for anyone still working in education or medicine.

My husband puts people to sleep as well. He quit for the same reason. You are not alone. And from what I hear from friends in medicine it is a nightmare. The medical profession is being destroyed. It breaks my heart. I was a physical therapist for 30 years. The best people are in medicine. I am so sad but I know the feeling when you have taken the weight off your shoulders. So I am happy for you and your 2 beautiful girls. You will not regret your decision. It is a win win for your family. Congratulations. As one mom to another, I am proud of you. 😁👍

Yeah and private equity companies are buying up practices and all they care about is more $ next quarter. Even buying up hospitals to drain all they can. Like “oh well you are now assuming our debt to a random LLC in $X amount” and then find out they have the same executives and it went in their pockets. After buying it they then institute massive layoffs, stop paying vendors and invoices, cut services, etc then claim bankruptcy and then they get to sell off the land for even more profits. Then leave the community in dire straits… near me this happened to 4 hospitals in my area in a major city in the NE. Now you can have an hour long ambulance ride and the other hospitals unless you are dying or being admitted you won’t get a room.

Kristina, all of your friends in healthcare are applauding your decision to do what is best for you, your mental health and your family! I’m a 13+ year nurse and the toxic environment that all healthcare workers are having to endure has made so many of us want to leave healthcare for good. I have a brother who left the greedy corporate world for his own mental health and sanity and has been a travel and cooking content creator for several years. He said it was the best decision of his life, has no regrets and is actually making even more money as a content creator. We only have one life and have to spend the time we do have wisely. I’d rather be happy, have my mental health intact and make less money than continue to endure the abuse of our greedy healthcare systems. Thank you for sharing your news with us, and we will continue to support you on your journey!

And just because she was chose to stay home and not work didn’t mean she wasn’t embracing female rights. She got to choose and that was the point. ❤️

My Aunt was an amazing obgyn and she always regretted her career. She finally took disability for arthritis in her hands which was making surgery difficult. Two years later she died from cancer. I bet she would have done things differently had she known. As a nurse working a busy chronically understaffed medsurg unit, we had a charge nurse quit to go work in a bagel shop. Hospitals can be soul sucking institutions.

I was able to focus my time on raising tiny little humans. I just recently went back to work as an IV drip nurse at a med spa and I absolutely love it! Have zero desire to be back in the hospital. Good luck! It’s a great decision!

However- like you, I’m currently a PCT and TBH- wanting to travel with my kids and be more present for them. (I’m a single Deaf parent to 4 under 8) and thinking about shifting my perspective to be more behind the scenes such as focusing on what’s really important to me in healthcare. For one- healthcare ASL interpreting is at a dismal place and rate right now and that’s one of my desires- to fix it and one of my goals is to set up a virtual/digital interpreting agency. It has been one of my dreams and honestly you really inspire me to literally think about changing my shift perspective to this. I’m so proud of you and your family.

I cannot contain how happy I am for you!!! I was listening to you during this video and it felt like you were speaking to my soul and verbalizing things that I couldn’t even make sense of in my head! As a pharmacist I have a unique and cool job but I am still struggling! On paper and to the outside world the job sounds so cool and amazing but I keep ending the day feeling unfulfilled and like parts of me are missing. I appreciate that you have shown people that the way something has always been done (ex: practicing medicine as your ONLY identity) is no longer necessary. And encouraging people to feel validated if they want to pursue multiple interests. I also love that you are showing that you can monetize your passions but not make it your sole purpose in life. Thank you for being vulnerable, inspiring, and giving me hope! Sending you ALL THE LOVE!

Having the downtime to be able to travel, spend time with my family and children, and pursue other interests/hobbies is how I recharge. I feel like healthcare professionals are being encouraged to celebrate denying ourselves this self care. On top of that, when you spend so much time (and $) reaching for a dream, it almost feels like a failure to step away or press pause. I am so inspired by your message! So brave!

I have been running a side hustle, which has been like a 2nd full-time job for a year now. And, that is what I want to do. I want to be able to be creative and find myself again. I laid in my bed last night and cried because I was struggling with what to do and I asked God to please give me a sign. I get on KZfaq and this video pops up.

I stepped away from my RN job this past spring. I was a surgical floor nurse for almost 20 years. I love what I did, I miss the way it used to be. It was who I was and I feel like I’ve lost my identity. I was so proud of being a nurse but the past couple years have been so toxic. I don’t regret walking away but there are times I tear up remembering all the good times. My hubby and I have owned a business for 20 years that is really growing and doing well. I’m trying to find my niche there helping more and wanting to “be wanted”. Thank you for this video. Being an RN wasn’t who I was, it was just a part of me and I will always cherish it. I did not give up my license so maybe there’s a different path for me that’s not in acute care. Keep being you, you’re amazing.

In the last 3.5 years I have been under the most mental strain I’ve ever been under, going thru a divorce after 20 years of marriage, trying to make sure my 3 girls have as supportive and good life as I can after their dad just up and left us and doesn’t want to help them or even really see them. I’ve found that helping people in dealing with similar situations as what I’ve been going thru. I’ve been trying to shift to more of a counselling career over a manual therapy career and I’ve been scared because I am the sole support for my family, but I know this is what will make me happiest and I could work from home to be closer to my family. You have given me faith that I can make this happen for myself and my family 💜

I get to do what I love, without the actual stress of lesson planning, I get paid well, and I get to learn from other teachers from various grades about classroom management, classroom setups, student jobs, etc! It’s wonderful. 🥰

Great decision, my brother is an ER doctor. They self roster and that has helped keep staff. They have staff working from a half day a month to over full time. Their staff are able to pursue other interests while keeping their skills up. Other hospitals using rota coordinators who ignore requests struggle to keep their staff

@@a.kaiser8965 self rostering at the hospital my brother works at, all staff of same grade and specialty meet 4 times a year and spend a few hours going through a three month period filling in the shifts. Since they started this they haven’t had to use expensive agency staff. Then as life throws curve balls they swap with each other to cover shifts.

Congratulations on doing what’s best for you and your family. I’ve been a medical assistant for a huge chunk of my career, and after a rough summer and early fall, found I was burned out. After a lot of thought and prayer, I left healthcare all together and pursued another path. I’m happier than ever, less stressed and enjoying more time with family. ❤️

I love and miss my patients but I needed to do what's best for me and my family. Congratulations on the change! I hope you continue to feel so happy!

I feel excited for you Kristina! My husband is a partner in a law firm, and there are many leaving law firms also (but not law). The crazy hours, the stress, demanding clients, being on call 24/7, never really being on holiday, or having a weekend off, as clients expect the same level of attention regardless. The general population is having a kind of awakening thanks to the pandemic and changing the way they choose to live life. Kudos to you for having the courage to make change.

I went prn 3 years ago (hospitalist) and have never once regretted my decision. I get as much as work as I want monthly, I get weekends and holidays with my family, and make my own schedule around my kids school events and such. Best decision ever. Medicine is still my passion but it’s irrevocably changed now and it’s not something i can do full time anymore. Congrats on your decision 😊

Congratulations! And kudos for speaking up about the culture shift within corporate medicine and society's misplaced anger towards doctors and nurses. The problem is bigger than this pandemic and will ultimately compromise patient care. Most of these people don't understand the scientific method let alone identify how healthcare policies and "mismanagement" create the chaos we suffer from today. We need to treat our healthcare providers well, otherwise, there may be very few left.

Hi Kristina! I am so happy for you and how far you have come in your journey. I have been watching your videos probably close to a decade, and I have admired your drive and realness. My husband works for HFD, so seeing the pandemic through his eyes has been very difficult. I have so much respect for all in the medical and first responder fields. I am working on my own creative outlet in addition to my day-to-day as a project manager. You have been someone that I have looked up to in going ahead with allowing myself to do that. So, thank you for just being you! Best wishes in everything you have coming in the future.

I'm so happy for you ! That is a hard decision to make, but it seems right for you. You look so happy. I worked full time as an RN, but cut back my hours more and more with each kid I had. Health care is very demanding, both physically and mentally, so sometimes you just need to step back. I went on call for many years and made my own schedule so I could be more present for my family. I never regretted it.

Covid has changed so much though, and I also wanted a change. So I bought my own office about 4 months ago. There were a multitude of reasons but primarily, I wanted to have more control over my schedule in the office and to pursue my business passions! Now I get to do that!

So I’m July of 2020, I stepped away from the beside and took a work from home research job. It is PRN as well. It was the best decision I ever made. And to be honest, I’m not sure I would go back to “regular nursing” again. Excited for you and to see how far you go!

I want to get into gardening and spending time at our family ranch and maybe start writing a children’s book. I love taking care of patients but I agree the pandemic has changed everything. Honestly I could tell during vlogmas you were “off” but I was praying for you because you are such a wonderful person with such a good heart. What a powerful video. I think this is one of the most important videos you’ve ever done
