love this! I’ve have had a hard time articulating clear thoughts on all my feelings towards working bedside as an icu RN the last few years, re: burnout, corporate greed, apathy, pseudoscience. I’ve been navigating my own feelings of self worth when it comes to considering career routes and maybe a ‘softer’ side of this field. Love seeing your perspective on this topic!
Ahh I feel this so deeply. The bedside can take so much from you - not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too. You are not alone in these feelings, and your worth isn’t tied to how much you endure. Thank you so much for sharing this 🤍
I would love to hear more about your life as full time faculty. I’ve been bedside for 20+ years (time flies) and I’ve also been part time clinical faculty for about the last 8 years. I’ve been thinking of getting my Doctorate for when I’m ready to fully step away from bedside. I know I don’t want to stay at the bedside forever.
