Just a place to vent

So I wanted to quit my nursing job because I am stressing out too much and I'm not feeling it's my call. I'm working for quite some time , but I still didn't adjust to it. And I feel like I never will. I am good at this job ,professional. But my mind and my body aren't satisfied , calm or feeling okay with it. I wanted to find job in dog shelter. I know every job isn't wonderful and every job has its own resposibilities. But I want to seek for a job that I won't say every day for "omg I must go to this stupid job again." Because why would I torture myself with job that I don't really like..

For all of it to be better , I told that to my dad and instead of helping me solve my problem OR to just simply understand me , he went into argument with me. He thinks he's always right , that he knows everything the best. He doesn't understand how I feel. He wants only himself to be satisfied , but who cares how his child feels and what she wants. He cares what OTHER people will say and that hurts me the most , when I see how selfish he is , how he wants his needs to be satisfied. But you child , enjoy your every day stress , you'll be fine. What can I expect from other people if I get arguing , ALWAYS , from my dad , no support from my dad , no understanding from my dad... What can I expect?

Caring what other people would say because I quit oh so wonderful nursing job.
I think my mental health and life without stress is what I want. And what I need.

You need to find a job that you’re able to breathe... if you know what I mean...
Your dad could have at least, sat down and the both of you had a constructive discussion of the pros and cons and list out some options
So sorry you’re under such heaviness

@As0if he’s being closed minded and only thinking from his generation point of view.. Plus, I’m sure he’s not a nurse

@SW-User See , you understand. And yes he's extremely closed minded. I just wonder for how long will I be able to argue with him... Who will break first

No one in healthcare always enjoys their job. It'd be a lie. Some nursing specialties and fields are more difficult and more stressful than others. Maybe change the field? Which one are you?

You may need to further your education bit for a certificate but it's better than continuing in your stressful context, or wasting away the years you spent in training.

@Miram Vascular surgery? I guess it's said like that 😂

And yes , it is stressful because for 15+ patients I'm working day shift of 12hours , then 12hours of a night shift ALONE. From 7pm to 7am I am completely alone with 15+ patients , who need observation constantly and in late evening I am thinking all the time how some of those patients health state can change in a minute. I know my older co-workers started working alone even earlier than I did , in worse conditions , but I really think it's not something that will pay off in ANY way. Plus , I can't understand our state that allows it... And I certanly do not plan on working this same one job till the rest of my life, in these conditions. :/

Being a Nurse can indeed be stressful I am a Nurse on a Cardiac day surgical Unit newly qualified in January and cannot yet say I am good at my job but motivated by caring for people

@As0if there are other nurse jobs far less stressful don’t think anywhere in NHS is that understaffed

@QuietEd2019 Truth and I wish I can change my department , but I can't. 😑 :/

I find nursing more of a calling, rather than a job!!

I am sorry you don't have the support you need. Stressful times are when family is SUPPOSE to be there. It hurts when they fall short. I understand. You say you still like working with people though. Have you ever thought about being a pediatrician? You still get to work with people and it seems to be less stressful.
