I think I'm also reacting to stress at work. I haven't said this, but I'm a brand new RN, in an ER. I've worked in healthcare for 15 years, in the ER for 7. But this is a whole other ballgame. I'm competent, and was at the top of my grad class, but that doesn't matter. I'm scared every day that I'm going to hurt someone (that's just part of being an RN, you have allot of responsibility. And I won't hurt anyone, but you are just always vigilant). I told him that this morning and he empathized. I think he is taking a lot with a grain of salt bc I am self-aware, in that I know I'm stressed with work, and that I won't be new forever. I've also chosen to transition out of the ER because of a lot of reasons (some of it drama not coming from my end), but mainly because it isn't the right fit for me. I think that will lessen the stress somewhat. I do love my job, but it's hard sometimes.
