Anyone else in healthcare who is burned out? Been a nurse for 25 years plus. Nurses, docs, pharmacists,?

nurse assistants, etc. Am I the only one? I try not to be but a sense of doom looms over me when I have to go to work. Can't think of anything else to do but be a greeter at WalMart, but I don't think the pay is there for me.

I wasn't a 'healthcare' worker, but I was a 'mental health care' worker and I definitely 'burned out' and retired 'early' at the age of 40. I am still a 'psychologist' but I don't 'work' for pay any more ... and if you can stand the 'downgrade' you'll take in pay, then you should go be a 'greeter' at WalMart ... because you'll be a 'really good one' and you may actually 'help' more people because you are also a 'nurse.' One of my 'favorite' jobs was as a 'waitress' after I had been a psychologist ... and people must have thought I was a 'good waitress' because most of them wanted to be seated on 'my side' of the restaurant.

no but I'm seriously reconsidering starting my nursing diploma after reading the Nursing times this morning

I'm more enthused about being a Pharmacist now then I was 18 years ago when I started. Time for a new job for you.
