Dealing with feelings of discouragement at work can impact every aspect of your life. You may have trouble sleeping, difficulty relaxing on your days off, and struggle to think about anything else. Workplace stress can really take a toll on you emotionally and physically, and you may question if nursing is really the right career for you.

If you’re struggling in your current nursing job, take some time to try to work it out before calling it quits. Seek out a mentor who can help guide you through those challenging times. Lean on your coworkers for support.

Sometimes just having someone that you can talk to and turn to in the workplace can make all the difference.
