I know the feeling. After 13 years I'm still searching for a specialty that I love. My relationship with the Lord helps me a lot. I go to the gym 4 times a week and have a social life. I tell myself that I don't subscribe to toxicity. Hang in there! You're an amazing person & nurse ❤

[@oihcam22]

Same, nursing is just a means to an end for me. I got bills to pay and nursing gives me my paycheck.

[@fromcnatonp]

I can relate, sad but true! One 💚

[@shanap3772]

We have so much in common I will be 41 in July and have been a FNP for 5 years as well. I’m also burnt out on nursing. I recently got into property investing and have several airbnbs now. I’m trying to find ways I can make passive income and control my own time. Good luck to you on your journey and do whatever makes you happy. We are more than just nurses! ❤

[@nikollaevans6318]

The integrity is slowly disappearing in this profession in the name of money . 23 years in and a lot of us find ourselves in situations that has nothing to do with patient care but “ customer service”. It’s so heartbreaking to be unsatisfied with the profession for most of us as we got into it to care for people. You are not alone and we understand your plight. We stand behind you and with you! ❤

[@BrownSugar0124]

Hello Beautiful Lady, It’s so good to see you doing well. It’s ok not to be “100% in love” with nursing. You can still give 100% care to patients and be at 50-75% in love. For me, I was in the honeymoon stage for 10 years then I became more exposed to the real side of healthcare. Then that drove me to give even more to my patients and families for another 10 years. Now I’m planning my exit from the ICU bedside. I can finally say it out loud that nursing is a career but now its just a job to me and its ok to feel that way. It’s ok to say that I made a great living from nursing but there is more to life then just nursing. I believe we are all struggling to find our next purpose but I know its out there. Thank you and Kendra for giving us this space to be open.

[@fromcnatonp]

Hey YoYo! Thanks for this comment because sometimes I feel like I must be crazy feeling like this! Thanks for the support! Hope you will find your sweet spot, wherever it takes you!

[@charisseabernathy487]

So happy to see your face! I was worried. Totally can relate to the nursing situation. I kept going back to school and furthering my education only to realize I’m just not up for it anymore. Hope you get your mojo back and know I love all your content not just nursing.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you so much for the support! I wish you all the best

[@alignedwithchrist]

I understand what you mean about nursing. I love the profession but I don’t have the same passion I see others with. I’m now a clinical educator which is going well. I do miss talking with patients but not disease management

[@fromcnatonp]

It’s really tough and when we admit to this and say it out loud we are judged so harshly! Thanks for watching

[@michelelyons9314]

I feel the same way!!! I have been a nurse for 30y and it is not what it used to be. Furthermore, COVID-19 changed the game! I am still trying to find what will be satisfying...love you Laurie 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🙋🏽‍♀️

[@martinawooley]

Feel like Covid19 exposed the game more so than changing it

[@LoveLacedRN]

SAME. RN & NP same as you…. Nursing/healthcare is just a means to an end for me too. Thank you for being so open and sharing. It makes me feel better to know I’m not alone.

[@dorisbradley1749]

Keep going strong! I appreciate your transparency and either way, you're still a role model for the nursing profession!🎉

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you so much!!

[@xiomaragomez6649]

Absolutely agree. She's so transparent, that's one reason I love her channel. We can relate.

[@tkahill3170]

I wonder is it too soon for me to be feeling burnt out???? Being a nurse has been a joy but very exhausting! I have been a nurse for only 19 months! It could be my age and mind set at 40 and having a family that has me feeling this way. I would rather be at home taking care of my family! Your videos are so needed no matter the content! Wish you well on what's to come!

[@fromcnatonp]

Burn out occurs at any stage of this nursing game, I wish you all the best! Thanks for watching!

[@hildawilson5135]

That’s why we watch you because you are genuine and real! Thank you for all your input and content and rest assured you are well liked and followed no matter what! Blessings to you!

[@tracyterrell3018]

Girl I was wondering if you was going to bring more videos for us to watch. And now I see that you was attending to your mental health. I'm glad that you are doing better and I hope you continue to bring more videos. Girl I missed the way you talked and your smile and I feel like I know you in real life. My husband tease me, because I would say my girl have not posted a video yet and he would say, have your girl posted a video yet! So don't stop dong what you do you will always make someone day showing up on this platform. See you in the next one.

[@fromcnatonp]

Awwwww! I really appreciate that! Thanks for the love! 🤗

[@drewcarson2422]

I lost and gained weight. Nursing school is the reason why I stopped working out/eating 100% clean. I need to get my mojo back too! You are a very relateable, intelligent, and awesome person! I love your channel!

[@dpaper7962]

All nurses are awesome and I truly thank you guy’s!!! There was this nurse that taken good care of me in the PACU before I moved on to the ICU and I would always thank her for the care I received while I was down. Idk if she loved her job or not but if she didn’t she surely did a good job hiding it. So all you nurses out their stay strong because you guy’s are the backbones to the medical field! This is coming from a Certified Sterile Processing Technician who is soon to be a Cardiovascular Technologist then off to a PA!

[@nicoledejesus6712]

Do you girl, I’ll follow you regardless, I’m a LPN and working on my RN people think nursing is so great, nope it’s not. Keep working on yourself and taking care of you! 🇹🇹

[@Abidjan-weekly]

Then why keep doing it? In your place, I would make money in LPN while studying another field to just get out.

[@kitelouma2721]

It's great when nurses reach a milestone where they embrace balance and boundaries within the profession. Nurses are people who love home decorations, in door gardening, traveling, making favorite dishes and displaying them, etc. At times, being in love with a career deters one from enjoying balance and finding happiness in other areas of life. You'll be surprised to know all the nurses who are content creators with channels soley focused on clothing, music, religion, culinary skills and more. They deliberately do not mention anything about nursing. You won't even see a stethoscope anywhere in the background when they're on camera. Life offers blessings in so many areas. Staying focused and doing your job honestly while on the clock is all that matters. You don't have to be "in love" with the profession.

[@michelelyons9314]

[@MNP208]

We can't dismiss the upper Midwest winter weather. It definitely takes its toll. Recently post-menopausal here. A new frontier! 😂Unfortunately, we aren't set up to know the realities of the nursing profession in nursing school. They are still selling the Flo Nightingale Kool-Aid. Healthcare wasn't a capitalistic mafia back then. We like seeing your non-nursing content too!

[@khaleliahk]

Please say that again! March was a beast!

[@fromcnatonp]

Hahah! Winter does take a toll on my mental too, but I knew it was more than the winter weather. Thanks for watching

[@kellykelly3109]

We will watch whatever you post.

[@fromcnatonp]

Awwww! Thank you 😊

[@ShelbyGunby]

Welcome back and happy belated birthday. I’m glad you took some time off YOU though🫶🏾 And girl, a lot of us can agree with your statement about not being “in love” with where we are right now. Rather it’s with nursing or any other profession. Like you said, I use to looooooooooove nursing because I loved working at the bedside as an ER nurse. However, eventually (after yeeearsss of doing that) my love for that faded. Now, as an NP, I’m on the hunt for that same love, a new love, and haven’t found it yet🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m pray full that it will come, but if not, maybe I’ll win the lottery 😂 Welcome back girl ❤❤❤

[@LoveLacedRN]

I follow you too Shelby! I love having fellow women of color in the NP role just trying to figure it out. All three of us have gone back to the bedside after NP and then back to NP jobs. I pray we all find our way ❤

[@ShelbyGunby]

@@LoveLacedRN thanks for following me ☺️☺️☺️☺️ and yes girl…i pray we find our way as well. It’s definitely reassuring to know there are other people in the NP world still trying to figure it out. I believe in us though🫶🏾

[@ladynottingham89]

Everyone needs to make a living to survive, part of what made me choose nursing was that job security that it offers. Yes, I am grateful that I make a difference as well, but you can get jaded from what you see in this field. It is a business after all. A lot of nurses that may not feel like it's a calling for them may do a great job still because they take pride on their work. You are allowed to think and feel what you want. We're all grown and you can't please anybody anyway. I hope you find your niche and you feel fulfilled some day.

[@khaleliahk]

Hi Laurie, so happy to see you. I understand completely where you are coming from. You have to put yourself first. Even if you don’t do nursing videos anymore. I will still watch. I get enough nursing while at work lol. I’m an RN ❤

[@xiomaragomez6649]

I think at this point we will watch whatever content she puts out. 😊

[@khaleliahk]

@@xiomaragomez6649 You are right! ☺️

[@judyhaynes1495]

Glad to see you back. As a fellow NP, I look forward to your videos. I can totally relate to the struggles as well as successes. Hang in there. I’m interested in what you have to say whether nursing related or not. Praying for you to get your mojo back soon😊

[@bernyddessy4992]

So glad to see that you are ok! I completely get it Laurie, I feel like alot of my nurse friends and myself go through phases where you kindda question the career we chose. It has alot of ups and downs. But I'm glad you are doing well now. Looking forward to your next vlog!! 😊

[@lboogie590]

I feel the same. Was just talking to my husband yesterday about switching fields and I’m an NP too

Welcome back!! You were truly missed!!!

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you!!

[@jenrn120]

Welcome back Laurie! I’m glad you’re doing well. Have you ever thought about picking up a hobby? Maybe that’s what you need, something else that can keep your mind busy besides nursing, Gardening, crochet…etc, I know how you feel so this summer I’m planning on learning how to sew I always wanted to learn that or whatever else that is pleasurable that can get your mind off nursing cause it can really suck the life out of us… yoga, meditation, think about it!

[@roseestimable7560]

It’s good to be expressing your true feeling about the profession. I’m also a CRNA and sometimes find myself in similar position. I was a nurse for 9 years with different backgrounds before going to nurse anesthesia.

[@mariaa1262]

Hi Rose! I hope this doesn’t come off as too forward but I saw your comment and was hoping I could ask you some questions. I’m a brand-new NP (6 months in 🤣) and I’m so burnt out I’m already thinking of something else and I’m thinking of CRNA. Is becoming a CRNA still something you would choose to do? Thank you in advance.

[@mrs.wilson2275]

So happy you’re back!! Thank you as always for sharing you life with us! We’re gonna rock with whatever content you choose to provide! As alway love your transparency, especially when it comes to nursing. I feel the same way. These SL I acquired getting all these nursing degrees has to get paid, hence I have to continue to work lol. I still show up for patients but yeah kinda over it lol

[@cccook4826]

@5:15 I just told a colleague this 45 minutes ago...and I left bedside nursing years ago. I am having my resume reviewed and revised to enter into some other areas professionally

[@ingert1441]

I totally understand what you are experiencing. I have asked myself the same question. Why don’t I feel fulfilled? When you are training to be a nurse practitioner you have all these dreams of where you will be and the impact you would have on your patients and on healthcare, but alas! You realize that its not so…it can be disheartening….ask yourself , If I was not doing nursing or if I were not an NP would I miss it if I did something else? Thats my compass everyday.

[@christinelecount191]

Thank you for you honestly. I had a moment when I was completing my credentialing profile while listing my previous jobs. I felt embarrassed for the number of RN positions I've held over my 10 years. I lost an opportunity for my dream job as a new grad RN over a bad reference. I believe that is the reason why I struggled to find where I fit. I am now working as an NP in primary care. At times those thoughts try to sneak in but I'm able to process better now. I admire your confidence in believing you will find what is best. Thank you for sharing your journey in whatever comes next.

Hi Miss Laurie I woke up this morning and realised I hadn't seen a video of yours for ages, I searched and now see that you took some time out. It is so good to see you, and I'm glad you and your family are doing OK. Its important that you take care of you too. Its funny cause I've been in the the same place and nearly left nursing altogether! But on Monday 17th I am going to look round a new facility with a view to working there full time instead of being an agency nurse (travel nurse) I too got to the point were I was questioning if it was what I wanted to do??? Then after figuring out what goals I had, ie I want to move house. I realised I can make that happen quicker nursing. So with that in mind. I will roll up my sleeves and go again. Nursing doesn't give me joy like it used to, but that's OK I can still do my best, whilst be aware of the realities of nursing.... Happy Belated birthday it was my birthday too on the 23rd March I'm 57 now so a little older than you, I'm fortunate that I'm mortgage free, but hoping to move to a new home with a lovely garden 🏡🌺🏵🌻 Having a goal has helped me refocus, hope find your way too. 🇬🇧💗🇯🇲🥰

[@fromcnatonp]

Happy belated bday Miss Sherry! All the best to you moving forward

[@WEG906]

I worked in a prison and it was the best job ever . It was a non benefits position for 191k . The only problem was that I had to drive 1.5 hrs to work one way and it was too much . I lasted one year driving back and forth but I had a young baby and had work close to home. Needless to say , I’m now in psych NP school

[@shanp5891]

Although I always do my best as a nurse, I am not in love with nursing. It's been 11 years and I still don't think it is for me. I am thinking about other things I can do. Like you I am trying figuring it out.
