Please help me. I feel at my lowest. I'm 40 years old. I've been a nurse since I left school and I don't know any other work. Our ward sister is a complete bitch to me. Has been for years but got so bad lately that my GP signed me off work sick. I can't face going back to work. I'm a nervous wreck because of her. Everyone sees what she does to me. She doesn't hide that she's singled me out for bullying but nobody does a thing. Nobody supported me when I tried to stick up for myself. She even does it in front of her own superiors and they do nothing, so she knows she's been given licence to bully me. I feel very let down by the NHS and I'm totally sick of it. My confidence is shot!. I had 5 interviews for other nurse jobs, some of them at lower levels but I didn't even get those. My confidence is shot! I don't want to be a nurse anymore EVER but what else can I do that pays as well? I'm interested in beauty therapy and childcare but both pay peanuts, don't they? I can't see myself going back, but I don't know what else I can do. Please help. Sorry, I know this is in the wrong section but I couldn't see how to post it elsewhere.
