Then reality sets in, that the convenience of lounging around just isn't there anymore. Time to force the issue, anxiety or not. If you want a new area but have doubts about patient loads, then I suggest that tried and true way to go with less stress: home health. Get a job with a home health agency doing shift work. One patient, one nurses note for each shift, each day, and you're done. No fuss, no muss, because your patient should be stable with routine care. You can relax when you only have one patient to take care of. Give good care, get things done, and don't have to run up and down a hallway like a chicken with its head cut off. Give it some thought. And to perk your system up and get involved in life again, get yourself on an exercise plan. You can go to a gym or work out at home, but do something to get your blood circulating. You will feel better and be more inclined to cut down on the eating and TV. Good luck.
