Is this career burnout or this floor burnout?
So I’ve worked in a hospital as a CNA for 11.5 years, I’ve attempted RN school twice but unfortunately I take care of my sick mom and both times I’ve had to withdraw. I loved this job when I first started, I love taking care of patients & talking to them etc. I within the last year switched to the MICU and, I LOVE my managers but the floor itself is crap. It’s depressing because the patients never get better, the RNs all think they’re way better than me which honestly I’ve never experienced like this before. I literally am cleaning patients and getting temps & sugars. I don’t know if I’m just done with this career or if I just need to go back to a floor where my patients get better and aren’t intubated. My anxiety’s through the roof when I know I have to work, like vomiting, diarrhea and just totally anxious about the next 12 hours. I don’t know what to do, I’ve increased my antidepressants, started on hydroxixine (I’m not sure if I spelled that right). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
