Ours is such a versatile field, you have aquired so many skills. I've been a med/surg nurse since '82. You need to listen to yourself as you have been reminding me of myself with burnout. When I worked hospice for 3 years I loved being there but, I got to a point where I found myself wondering how many were going to "knock off tonight." It was time to move on. Did Oncology then Rehab then Med/surg. Again, found myself not feeling very therapeutic, especially towards those in chronic pain on the call bell continuously so watched the want ads and have found a new position. It is a wonderful thrill to be learning a new routine and picking up new skills. How about being the nurse on a cruise that goes interisland someplace warm like Hawaii? Would we love to hear from you! You can always go back, sometimes you need to shake things up, Tom!
