My Regrets As A Registered Nurse

As a new nurse I was ambitious and excited to dive head first into the deep end of nursing. I took my job so seriously and prioritized my career over my own needs. This left me lacking in outside relationships, constantly obsessed over how my patients/coworkers viewed me, and not prioritizing my own needs and mental health. I was completely burnt out just a year into my career. Now that I've had my child and taken a step back from nursing for now I realize that I don't hate my career choice like I thought, I just wasn't taking care of my own needs and setting boundaries.
