Feeling refreshed and recharged
- Location: Santa Clarita,
I have been a nurse for 13.5 years. I felt called to this profession. About 7 years ago, I experienced burnout. I experienced major anxiety at work, and was so afraid to make a mistake. I needed help. I was even trying to look for other nursing jobs that weren’t at the bedside. I strongly encourage anyone who feels this way to get counseling, take care of yourself, and make time for yourself. We have wonderful behavioral health benefits. My counselor helped me to cope, find purpose in my work, and was just someone I could talk to. I felt refreshed and recharged coming back to work.
