#JobQuitting #MentalHealth #CareerChange
Hey everyone, have you ever felt so much shame quitting your job after only a month? 🤔 I recently quit my job as a medtech/caregiver at a senior living facility and I’m struggling with feelings of regret and self-doubt.
Here are some thoughts and possible solutions for anyone going through a similar situation:
* Talk to a mentor or counselor about your feelings – it’s important to process and work through these emotions.
* Remember that it’s okay to prioritize your mental and physical health over a job that is causing you stress.
* Consider finding a new job or internship in a different healthcare setting that aligns better with your goals and values.
* Take this experience as a learning opportunity to grow and become a stronger nurse in the future. It doesn’t define your capabilities as a healthcare professional.
Remember, it’s okay to make a change for your well-being. Your mental health is important and you deserve to be in a job that brings you fulfillment and happiness. Stay strong and take care of yourself! 💪🏼💕
You did the right thing. Leave jobs if you’re stressed and unhappy
You did absolutely nothing wrong. It is your right to resign even after just one day. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! I have been in the same position as you, working in a very stressful job that gave me heartburn and skin flare ups. And I stayed there for 6 MONTHS! So good on you for taking a stand for yourself. No job is worth your mental and physical wellbeing.
I’m working in a private practice as an allied health professional. I’m just shy of 6 months in and I’m handing in my resignation tomorrow. I just can’t work with management. I feel bad for the clients, but I know my worth.
Don’t feel bad. If the company was going through a downturn management can let you go the same day. It’s all a game of finding what you enjoy. ☺️
It’s a voluntary emotion
Knock yourself out
Yeah you have nothing to worry about you’ve done the right thing here. No guilt or any of that needed mate, don’t worry
Nothing to feel guilty about. You have to do what is most healthy for you and that environment was not it.
I do not agree that you need to rethink nursing, but you may need to be aware that this environment isn’t for you. Perhaps it was mismanaged and that was the issue. Perhaps it was the type of patient. It’s definitely something to consider but please don’t let this stop you from starting your career.
Youre Not alone with this. Just Changed my Job and did it for nine weeks, i couldnt anymore because of the anxiety and Burnout that has probably been build Up Prior to that. Plus I am studying too WHILE working for 30+ hours. I am now on my third week of sick leave and dont plan to come back too early..
You’re doing the right thing and shouldn’t feel bad about it!
You are being honest with finding your right job fit. I actually see that as a big positive!
Why? Because it means you know what you want and need from your ideal career role.
People who find their ideal role are: much happier, healthier, and enjoy their workplace.
Everything will be okay.
Who cares if it was a failure? Just because you weren’t doing good at one particular job in one particular place that doesn’t mean you won’t be a good nurse or even a med tech somewhere else.
Resigning from this specific position was necessary.
it is too stressful since management does a poor job on providing adequate staff for the night shift. You requested day shift. They didn’t honor that.
Management is making that a terrible place to work.
If you stayed you’d probably require medical care.
You owe no job anything. Self-care above any employer.
I’m glad I stumbled upon your post. I’m currently also feeling guilty, but for turning down a job recently. In all honesty, I truly did not feel that it was the right one for me. Feeling guilty because who knows if this was the job that was meant for me, but also, I didn’t feel excited about it, and felt like after my headache of a last job, I would be walking into another headache.
Like others have said, and I’m taking this advice too; we are not failures, and we are wise to know what is best for us in regards to our health and happiness. Let’s look at this as a bump in the road for something better that is coming. Sending you hugs for brighter days ahead.
