Nurses who LOVE their job, what specialty are you in?
Should I go somewhere else? I haven’t even been working as a nurse for a year, but I feel so stressed and my anxiety is thought the roof, there’s what feels like micromanaging and I’m so unhappy even though this was supposed to be my dream unit.
Would you leave a state for another state with safer patient ratio (and move family as well)? Especially if your current job is unsafe and you have horrible supervisors.
