I’m having the hardest time. I’m so burnt out and looking for another job. I’ve been beside about three years now and I just need a little bit of change. Any suggestions on what to go into next? I’ve done ICU/critical care most of my career so far.

I have been in nursing for 42 years and have changed my type of nursing career every ten years because of burnout. There are so many options, and that is the cool thing about being a nurse. Maybe ER nursing would be good with your background. Or, if you want a slower pace, maybe home health or hospice. Every avenue of nursing requires special skills, and learning those skills is what is exciting and keeps burnout at bay for a while.
