Here are a few signs: You feel like you’re not yourself anymore and feel a distinct lack of energy and motivation. Your mental health is suffering: you’re constantly anxious, depressed, or irritable even in your time off. You get anxious thinking about going to work or dread it during your time off. You feel like you don’t have any time with your family. The reward of caring for patients doesn’t feel like it’s worth the risks.

You feel an overwhelming need for something to change because what you’re doing doesn’t feel sustainable. Here is what to consider: Do I still enjoy anything about the nursing profession? Do I think I want to take a break or walk away permanently? What flexibility do I have financially? How do you feel about the work-life balance? How is my mental health?

hello i believe there would be and increase in the amount of job opportunities if there was a med aide position available for example it the med aide position is not filled by a med aide a lvn or rn can request the same position just have to accept they pay posted for the med aide. and also if and lvn or rn or med aide even request a cna position at cna pay of course we should be allowed to request it only because our credentials already include that of a cna or med aide. if you understand what im saying so like under an LVN profile it should be able to include med aide, cna and care giver. alot of facilities need med aides.

According to the Big Five Model, personality can be narrowed down to five main factors: extroversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. Extroversion This factor reflects the degree to which people interact with others and their levels of comfort and assertiveness in these situations. Extroverted people are sociable and enjoy being the center of attention. Furthermore, they are energized by social interaction. At the other end of the spectrum, people with low extroversion prefer to be alone and are even tired by social interaction. They are more reserved and reflective and certainly do not like being the center of attention. Agreeableness This factor refers to people’s interaction with others. If people are highly agreeable, they are empathetic and sympathetic; they are cooperative, altruistic, and compliant; they are trustworthy and also forgiving of others. People falling on the opposite end of the spectrum are more likely to show off as well as insult others. People with low agreeableness are not likely to care about others’ feelings and are often demanding of others. Openness This trait refers to people’s willingness to experience new things, as well as their inclination towards imaginative and intellectual pursuits. Open people are often curious, creative, and unconventional. On the other hand, those with low openness are more traditional and prefer to follow routines; they are also not very imaginative. Needless to say, people who are not very open tend to dislike change. Conscientiousness People who are highly conscientious have great impulse control. This allows them to stay focused on goals. These individuals are generally organized, disciplined, thoughtful, and careful. On the other hand, people with low conscientiousness are more impulsive and disorganized. Neuroticism This factor refers to people’s emotional stability and the lens through which they see the world. Neurotic people are more prone to experiencing negative emotions and thoughts, including anxiety, anger, sadness, stress, low self-esteem, and vulnerability. People with low neuroticism are more emotionally stable: they don’t worry much; they are rarely sad; they often have high self-esteem and are more confident, and resilient. We all fall somewhere on the spectrum of these personality traits. It also probably affects how we engage and care for others. Do we think nurses have a trait all in common?

Hello friends, is anyone having a hard time getting a shift or getting canceled hours before the shift starts or is it just me 😭

I have been working with some CNAs that are neglectful/don’t care about their work. It’s very sad to see and have to point out. There needs to be a way we can report these aides so they can be talked to or trained or banned even. Can we make this possible please?
