| Newbie Hello, I've done a few posts but guess I should introduce myself officially. I have been a nurse for eight years, six months on neuro med/surg unit, four years ICU, and the last three + years in an LTAC. Presently I hate my job and career, wished I had done something different (as I look for my oil can to lube my poor joints), but also realize how lucky I am to be in a career that is in demand and can pretty much go anywhere I want and find a job. I have been married for 16 yrs, have two wonderful girls and a cat. I live in Michigan where the economy sucks, thank God for nursing jobs. Sorry if I sound negative, but like my name I picked, I am Burnt out, and know this too shall pass, so you will just have to suffer a little until I work through it!  |

Mood:   | Re: Newbie Welcome to the site, BurntOut. I can't speak for anyone else, but I know what you mean about 'hating your job'. I have had quite a few days like that lately (we had a God-Awful survey...won't to into more ). What part of MI do you dive in? UP or LP? As you said, nursing is always in demand, and traveling IS an option; perhaps you need a change of scenario. Please drop by as often as you can; we'll support your decisions. 'Cat'
