I quit bedside nursing after 31 years and retired early 2 years ago, I am still recovering from the physical, mental and emotional trauma of a life lived at the bedside. My chronic back pain and the bilateral degenerative joint disease of my knees from 30+ years of constantly being on my feet for 12+ hour shifts for 3 decades is my lasting "reward".

I’m just tired and worn out. Not sure what I’m gonna do. I quit hospital nurse in 2015, was in home health for a couple years, did case management (awful), school nurse (also, sadly, awful) and am back in home care. I’m down to one last patient. When he no longer needs me I’m done. I’m literally thinking about going to work at somewhere like Target or Starbucks and doing a channel on here. I have one, but it’s just got a cat video on it 😂.

After being in healthcare for 40 years I retired from nursing a years ago. I'm still recovering. Nurses give so much of themselves we eventually have nothing left for us. It's not the hundreds of codes, deaths, or even abuse that ruined. It was the betrayal from leadership as they let the standard become understaffed, expecting the high performers to make it all happen. I did clinic for the last 17 years doing telehealth, but the load was 30-40 patients per day and after 150,000 patients, the stress became unbearable. It was like running a marathon daily at sprint speed. You work unpaid overtime daily while leadership came and left on time. The COVID hit, nurses quit and the floodgates opened.

Sometimes nurses are so busy so you have to wait or sometimes noones willing to help at all or if they help, they make you feel like you're a bother. Another is having to deal with rude doctors. Some of them yell at you for doing your job, like calling for a critical lab in the early morning. Patient and patient's family are another thing, they can be very demanding!. For example, they want you to change a patient's diaper who is 2x assist right away but no PSW is available to help you, so they get mad. OR they have so many questions that your'e not familiar.

Whenever I think about quitting, I think about all the people having the worst day(s) of their life. I had an office job for 20 years before I became a nurse. My neck was already shot. Fingers from typing. Eye sight from looking at the computer all day. Like shit. unless you're sitting at home being a couch potato (which your body will feel eventually too) your body is going to hurt. To complain about your body aches and pains or mental health while you're literally watching someone's life coming to an end is one reason why I honestly can't stand the younger staff these days. I became a nurse when I became healthy after being ill for a really long time as a way to be there for people the way nurses should be.

I don't want to scare you but PA job is more stressful and has more risks to offer against your license. You have bigger responsibilities although those are 2 different jobs. Being in the lab and then becoming a provider are 2 different things. This is like having burnt out new grad nurses that are taking NP school thinking it will get better. It will not get any better. Healthcare system is broken and also aside from that consider work politics, bullies, work environment, work ethics. A job is just a job and the key is don't get married to a job if you want to have a life. I am a burnt out ED nurse and educator for decades and I quit my bedside job because it is sh*tty everyday. I found happiness in real estate and e commerce. Lol A totally different world.

@@greencandyy6632 I am not discouraging anyone to become a nurse if that is your passion and your dream. I mean, to each his own right? I was once an enthusiastic new nurse that always wanted the sickest patients so I can utilize my skillset and learn something from them on top of saving their lives. I've been a nurse for 1.5 decades and nursing before was different. We focus on the patients more than the charting and dealing with computers. I mean, it is very important to document. As the saying goes, if it's not documented, it wasn't done. It's brutal now and you see massive strikes happening recently from all the burnt out nurses. I'm happy we have nurse ratios here in California but out of state aside from low wages, they are out of ratio or no actual set nurse to patient ratios at all. There a lot sicker patients now and insurances won't even cover shit that the pt needs when they go home so there is what we call readmission. I work as a Case Manager now so I see how disrupted the system is. I am hoping it will change but more and more new grads are quiting nursing because they see how awful it is. Again, if it's your passion, you will be ok. Any job is stressful but if that's what your heart desires, you are more than likely to love your job. Nursing has many facets it's not just all about the bedside if I'll give you a piece of advice. 🙂

I couldn’t be a bedside RN. I’m fed up enough with being a medical assistant. Working for bratty docs who ironically can’t seem to internalize the simple concept that just because I didn’t study medicine at Dartmouth does not preclude me from being a generally intelligent human being. Some of the arrogance I’ve encountered is just gross. Clinics let their staff become so depleted and they don’t hire more MAs, you just get to pick up the slack without any real compensation. This whole role in medical is a joke and I often ask myself why anyone would stay on as an MA for any real stretch of time.

I am an RN for 25 years. It’s 2023 and this is absolutely the worse. The rationale is those in charge want above all to have money and they seem to do whatever it takes to keep their leadership positions. Half of you will disagree but forced Covid policy was the catalyst. It’s more political now, more outsourcing, and above all less about patient care. Those at the top decided to take care of number 1, themselves first. The incompetence, bad spending, and novice attitude those in charge have is unbelievable. They say all the right stuff but their actions speak louder. I hope it works out for you, bro. I see trends that wages are down in nursing and multitasking is up. If you let them they will burn you out, don’t let them. Nursing still offers variety and if you move you can always have a job.

It can be because for some strange reason most hospitals won’t take you on as a new grad to become a scrub nurse. I would say I’ve possibly got lucky. But it doesn’t hurt to try them again. I’m in the UK so things are a bit different. Plus I did apply to a lot of hospitals and most of them rejected me because they said I was a new grad. it’s a completely different skill set and there’s so many different specialities as well, so it takes longer to learn everything plus not every hospital does every single speciality as well.

Hi! Thanks for your video. I was also thinking of PA school after my MPH/RD degree. Were you able to find a PA program online? I'd love to know how balancing your many goals and projects has been. New subscriber :)

PA programs are very stringent and it's like having a full time job, they are not online, it's a lot of clinical lab time and didactic in person. MUCH better education than NP school in my opinion!

AI would be the answer. Having robots looking like people would be the solution.

Been a nurse for 8 years in a multitude of positions. We are losing many RN’s at my hospital due to the increase of flex (travel nurses) making double/triple than staff RN’s. Many barely do anything. For example, one we just had charted patient refused on all meds. I can’t knock the hustle, but what financial gain do hospitals have from paying a travel nurse 120/hr rather than increasing staff RN pay to let’s say 40/45? Mind you, I’m contingent but work part/full time hours and am in MI.

Uas nurse ?

@blakejonathan4505 11 ай бұрын

@@ally705 Idk if there is an equivalent in other states but in NY there is something called the uniform assessment system of NY for community based long term care agencies and health insurance plans. Most of the UAS nurses Ik work remotely from home or hybrid, and they also get pay a portion per assessments they complete on top of their regular pay. There’s alot of opportunities here in NYS for those types of roles.

You are the biggest cupcake I’ve ever not met. This is what’s wrong with this country, nobody wants to pay their dues anymore they’re so entitled. I’ve been a PA for 21 years and a paramedic, in a very busy metro for 12 years before that. You have no idea what the words tough job mean.

I am both a paramedic and a registered nurse, and can tell you hands down Nursing is WAY more stressful and taxing then EMS every was, no matter how busy the system I worked in was! PA is not even close to nursing, you guys aren't doing the grunt work like nurses are!! Trying passing out juice, wiping butts, turning patients, giving them meds, and being interrupted every two minutes for twelve hours!! Thankfully I do vascular access nursing, which has proven to be the only nursing I can tolerate!
