[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 254224, member: 84"] Jena I do understand your need to blow. easy child thinks I"m crazy for wanting to be a psychiatric nurse. But I discovered it as my niche long long ago. So that's probably what I'll go for once I graduate. But I know going in that it won't bother me the way it does alot of people. I can clock out and walk away from it and leave it behind. And yet still be very giving to my patients. You need to get your tough skin developed. You need to revamp your schedule so that you aren't overworked. I know you care so very much about what you do, but you have to be so careful not to have that become a flaw instead of an asset. You are one caring person among a sea of people in need. If you're not careful you'll drown. Burn out from this sort of thing is sky high. You've got to learn to pace yourself, and learn that no matter how hard you try to can't help/save them all. I'd nix the carrying it over into weekends. This is time you need for your family, your child, and to unwind and to shed the week's stress. Most especially if you're already working long hours during the week. If you love this job, and I'm sure you do, you have to find a way to make it work for you and your family without the stress that comes along with the job sending you headlong into burnout.......which by the way will cause you to loath the job of your dreams before you know it. You do the best you can and let the rest go. Sorry difficult child is having trouble coping and they're not handling her well at school. Find something fun for each of you to do this weekend to help you blow off steam. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
