I'm an RN. I'm thinking about going & doing further study to enter mental health after a somewhat traumatic work experience that has me doubting my skills in more critical care medically/surgically acute situations. Not that I have been discouraged from staying in critical care fields, quite the opposite I've been encouraged to continue by my colleagues & bosses but it causes me so much anxiety & I dread work & have become suicidal. I don't know if it was the work situation being to overwhelming in general or if my dx's are in fact correct & were exacerbating the stress. Either way I'm defiantly interested in mental health whereas my intrest in general nursing is wavering. I'm not sure if it would be any less stressful. Thoughts?
