Rachel I'm a nurse too. And I can totally understand and relate to this. I've been back from maternity leave for four weeks and I think I've cried at least twice a week. Doesnt help were getting slated left right and centre. A job I used to enjoy I now tolerate. Im glad you were able to make this decision and worst come to the worst you can always join the staff bank 😂😂
Rachel I was a teaching assistant for 12 years and this time last year I resigned after being signed off for 10 weeks with depression and anxiety caused by the job. It wasn’t the job I loved anymore. I didn’t feel I was teaching anymore just babysitting or worse a distraction for certain children so the rest of the class could learn. I worked my arse off and funded the activities I did do from my own pocket with no thanks or recognition from management (not that that’s why I did it but it would have been nice). At the end there was no support and after I resigned my head teacher sent me an email saying she thought it was the right decision and maybe I could find a career more suited to me...any doubts I had melted away after reading that! I now do a job that is not my dream job but then I had that and it turned into a nightmare so maybe that’s for the best. Well done for making the decision and following through with it...and I hope it makes you feel as good as quitting my job made me feel. Xx
Rachel I am also a nurse. Who works in A&E. and I 100% agree with you. It’s not the same as when I joined. I used to love A&E but now it’s so different and it is so hard! I honestly don’t blame you for leaving! I agree 100% that you need to come first and the NHS sucks the life from you. You’re awesome for being brave enough to do that! Lots of big nursey hugs to you!

Well done Rachel. I was a nurse back in 2015 & was only qualified for a year when I decided my mental health couldn’t cope - I cried on my way to work, on my home & was generally miserable!! I became a dog walker & I am now a dog trainer; I actually get more thanks for helping families with their dogs than I ever did as a nurse (we don’t go in to the profession for thank yous but it’s nice to feel appreciated). The NHS is such a mess & I do worry for every employee they have, it really is heart breaking stepping away but for my own sanity it really was the right step!
I hope 2023 is the year for you & the family! You guys are amazing 🥰 x

Brilliant! Love the obvious interjections from Ross! 🤣
Rachel - you've definitely done the right thing.
Hope the wax melts business continues to prosper.

Another Nurse here. I envy your courage. I wish I had a Teddy Eva Scents that I could commit to instead of this job.
Wishing you the best of luck and Nursing will never be gone (just a ball ache to rejoin) if you ever change your mind.
