Kinda feel bad but…?

I am a month into my first nursing job and absolutely hate it. every day is understaffed, every single patient complains, everyone is miserable, I was told it was a PACU center when really it’s more like assisted living. every single shift stays overtime like almost two hours after!! and everyday someone asks u to stay for another shift. u also cannot leave ur patients if there’s no one coming in next shift. one time, there was only ONE nurse for the entire floor. each nurse usually gets 18-30 patients which I find absolutely ridiculous considering their needs for wound care and a massive amount of medications. I come home crying every single day and feel like I just want to d I e whenever I have to go in. not to mention… they failed states!!!!! which is weird considering how much money they charge patients to go there.

anyways, I got an opportunity at a pediatric office. it’s small and very family like. Im sure there will negatives there like all jobs… especially a major drop in salary compared to what I have now but honestly I don’t even care about the money. I want to make my patient’s days and feel like im doing something good. I cant deal with going in patient rooms and hearing them complain about how their needs aren’t being met. it’s so depressing and horrible. i wanna try to see if I can only work there one day a week and do the pediatric office the rest of the week. I feel bad doing that to them so soon but I am just so miserable and overwhelmed. is that a bad thing to do? would quitting be bad as well? im usually not a quitter but I can’t work like that. I cant work in conditions like that. im a very organized detail oriented person, that place is all over the place and I see so many safety violations. I might have well just started in a hospital lol. but yea I never thought id work in PEDS, but I did wanna work in an office and I have worked with kids before so I think maybe it’s a sign??
