I’m now working at the VA as a per diem RN primary care nurse manager. Clinic >>> bedside. I’m loving clinic life.

i feel my anxiety building up inside of me again. when will this end? i can’t take it anymore.

I was offered a job position somewhere else closer to home; Monday through Friday, 8 hrs, outpatient. However, things took a turn the other day and they had to cancel my application due to “budget restrictions.” I feel all sorts of negative emotions. I’m praying that they could somehow make a change for my application. I’m praying that the other jobs I apply at will give me a chance to be interviewed and hopefully be hired. At my current job, I’m stressed and burnt out. I hate it. I wish I could leave, but I can’t since I don’t have another job lined up.

My two years at work is coming up and I gotta say, I still don’t feel confident. However, I will say that I’m better than where I was at before. Looking back, I see some growth, but of course things could always be better. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been so unhappy with working bedside. I mean, it does have its pros and cons. Pro—working 2 or 3 shifts (days) for 12 hours and then you’re done; the people I work with are amazing. Come—lots of physical demands, 1 hour commute, not knowing what you’re walking into, can be very stressful and chaotic. I thank God for always helping me with my entire shifts (before, during, and after). If not for Him, I don’t think I could survive or handle it on my own. Aside from this, I’ve been looking and applying for jobs closer to home. So far, I’ve had like less than 5 interviews and so many rejections. It’s been making me sad but I remind myself that rejection is just God redirecting me. Praying for a positive outcomes for the other jobs i have yet to hear back from. I guess this is my small little update on work.

Unhappy.

No real update..I've been at the same job for over a year now (this September will mark 2 years). I love the people I work with, but I'm over the job--I'm tired of bedside nursing & tired of the 2 hour commute (1 hr to and from).

I’m not happy at work.

been on my own for a few weeks already, & it’s been bearable, but still stressful here and there. my coworkers have been super supportive & helpful so work isn’t too bad in comparison to Vegas.

i’m already gonna be alone next week. I’m scared af.
