RE: Working in the healthcare industry and its effects on a young person
I can relate. I just made a post about why I quit being an RN. Ethical as well as feeling like it's just a waste of time. I read a crazy study that showed hospitals might actually kill more people than save overall because of infection rates (MRSA, VRE, pneumonia) etc. that they patient would otherwise not acquire.
Yeah. I've had many instances where I wanted to quit but I just keep trying to find little things to keep me going. It is a difficult field to work in and it is very important to take care of yourself because we naturally try to take care of others before ourselves and risk burning out faster compared to other jobs. I'm a bit curious. If I may ask, what did you transition to and how was that experience like?
