3 Laila Ighani Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I really think it depends on each person. If you still love the work you do and feel energized and fulfilled by it, don’t stop! But if you’re feeling burned out, then don’t sacrifice your own health to care for others. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this - with the ongoing shortage I appreciate all the older nurses I work with. To this day some of the best parenting hacks and raising kids advice I ever received were from old-school pediatric nurses who learned all the tricks in the books over the years on caring for sick littles ones, not waking a sleeping baby, etc. They could go in and take vital signs without even causing a peep! I have a lot of respect for the older nurses - but its a personal decision and safety needs to be considered in some cases. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
