I started a new job 7 months ago on a PCU. I've been an Rn for 25 years mostly Med Surg, and traveld for years and got tired of it.
It'a not what I thought it would be,nor told in the interview what it was really going to be. Instead, It's like a pysch. unit with multiple problems, as with drug over doses and alcohol withdrawal and on top elderly with confusion to rule out neuro problem. The suicides risks get 1:1 sitter but the other pt.swho are out of control have just us, and there are not enough of us. It is a disaster for me. Overwhelming.
It is not satisfying at all and I don't want to go back . I only have me no bills, no house, just a dream to have a decent job , I used to travel but got tired of that and now I think I should go back on the road to Med/surg for my sanity.
Any input will help me get back on track.
