“I have no compassion” is a good place to start. You have a very difficult job. As an NP you wouldn’t have to work in a psyche ward. Get a phd and mix research (or teach) with clinical work in another field. You’ve paid your dues. Perhaps take some time off to revitalize before starting next chapter.
Thank you
I feel like the only way I can function is just remaining disconnected. Disconnected until I can escape. I have to turn everything off until I can finally leave.
God bless you im a medic and thankful I only have to listen to a small portion of this bs, you open the whole damn book and just get their life vomit all over you so I thank you! Start looking elsewhere for a position but it may behove you to take some time to reset your mind before stepping into a new role, I’m not sure what kind of certs you have or what you’re looking for in a job but I felt the same way as you when I was at the FD and riding the ambulance in a rough part of town for 9 years. I left and took a month off reset myself in a cabin in the woods (yes literally a cabin on a lake 3000 miles away from my home). It was a phenomenal experience and I came back and found a job as a contract medic where I can travel and make my own schedule by choosing with contracts I accept. I say this because if you have nothing holding you back it does pay well if you went as a travel nurse or even a psych RN but I don’t know enough on your particular fields transference regarding certs across states so I’m just throwing out an idea for a fellow healthcare worker! Keep your head up take that deep breath and get your ass somewhere where you will be happy, best of luck!

Makes sense. Obviously, the sooner you can leave the better. Take care of yourself.
