The Most Stressful Job I’ve Ever Had! 😞
Follow @financial.health.nurse to see how focusing on the things you can control can lead to a happy, healthy, and richer life!
For the last decade, I’ve worked as a county jail correctional nurse. 🚓
I’ve worked with people who have committed crimes that ranged from simple misdemeanors, such as petty theft, all the way up to murder.
There were definitely times when that job was very stressful, but I loved what I did and always had a passion for helping the underserved.
However, due to family obligations, I recently started a new job as a telephone triage nurse. ☎️
I basically spend about 6 hours/day helping people figure out what to do about their medical concerns.
Compared to my old job where I had multiple short bursts of critical thinking and stress, this new role requires long periods of critical thinking.
These long periods of critical thinking leave me mentally exhausted and stressed at the end of every shift. 😫
The human brain is GREAT at dealing with short amounts of stress, but it is TERRIBLE at dealing with long periods of stress.
I’m still figuring out a solution to my problem…
….but the first step is RECOGNIZING that there is even a problem to begin with.
