I want to leave nursing!Rating: (votes: 0) Where do nurses go when they don't want to be nurses anymore? Where do we move on to when we don't love it anymore? I can honestly say that I don't know where to go from here... You can investigate new careers on the internet for the price of your internet connection. Be sure to have a plan in mind and a means of support, before you quit your nursing job. And remember to keep your nursing license in an inactive status just in case. Comment: Career counseling. I think there are tests that help match skills and interests to professions. Then look at where the up and coming jobs are. Best wishes.Comment: Have you ever thought about becoming a nurse supervisor?Comment: Telephone triage, telephone advice nursing... still nursing but without much of what you dislike.Comment: I am still working part time in home health. I wouldn't say it's something that I really enjoy. I'm doing it because it's paying my bills right now. The thing is that I don't enjoy patient care anymore. I still enjoy teaching. I still love wound care. I still enjoy learning about new meds and new treatments. It's not that I completely hate everything about nursing.I have thought many times about being a supervisor. Unfortunately, without any formal supervisory experience, I usually do not qualify for the supervisor jobs in my area.I have also looked into telephone triage, but what I have found requires ER/ICU experience, which I do not have. I am scared to death to quit nursing. I know there are many out there that have done it and are successful. I don't feel like I can start over at this point. Many hospitals are starting to require the BSN, and quite honestly, I'm afraid that if I do go on for the BSN, then I'll end up needing a master's. I seem to always be one step behind where I want to be, and one step behind where the jobs are. And I have neither the money nor the energy to put into a master's degree. I'm just stuck and don't know where to go!
