I’m an NHS nurse feeling very stressed, anxious and low. My GP has signed me off with work related stress, I’m now on ADs and using self help techniques. Waiting for OH referral. I’ve had lots of family issues recently and two small children, I tend to work around my husband. Work has been really full on the past few months, and as usual skeleton staffed and pressured lately with quite a few stressful incidents, and a bullying incident thrown in. My line manager is sort of supportive but making out that I’ve carried these issues from previous job roles but it’s my current one I feel bad made me burnout and I feel cannot return to, I am now dreading it. I feel very much like a square peg in a round hole, lots of negative office politics going on, with no autonomy and my line manager bulldozing over our decisions.
My husband is supportive and is encouraging me in whatever I decide. I really want to hand my notice in, it feels like such a leap or risk after 10 years of continuous service.
Shall I just do local trust bank and agency?
I’m joining some nursing agencies now, I’m not sure if they would send me to hospitals though I’d like to go back to wards and the acute sector but I’m pretty nervous about working shifts and wards or ED again, but it would offer me more flexibility. I’m not up to date with IVs or been on wards for years!
