Quit Your Nursing Job
Are you dreading going to work? Feeling consistently burnt out? Not growing or advancing in your career?
It’s time to quit your job.
While not every instance of dissatisfaction warrants quitting (although we may joke about it at any minor inconvenience), there are some tell-tale signs that it may be time to leave your current role.
Low Nurse to Patient Ratios: Although there’s a nursing shortage, facilities can maintain an appropriate ratio by lowering the number of patients. An unwillingness to do this may be a sign this job is no longer for you.
Safety: Patient and nurse safety should be a number one priority. Nurses are responsible for patient safety and facilities are responsible for their nurses. Make sure you are not in danger mentally, physically, or emotionally as it can affect your patient’s safety as well.
Feeling Undervalued: You should feel appreciated at your job, and not feeling this way can lead to increased stress, burnout, and frustration.
No Career opportunities: The lack of (or no) opportunity to move upward or add new skills can be a concern – especially if you’re getting passed on for promotion opportunities again and again.
All or a few of these factors could mean it’s time to move on to new opportunities. We know it can be overwhelming or scary to change jobs, but it could be life changing.
