Before I quit, what can I do to make it better?

I’m only a few months in with my current job and I’m already running on fumes. When I accepted it I knew it would be busy but I didn’t realize it meant days with barely enough time to eat, take notes, or just think. I feel like every person needs something from me at the exact same time.

The pay doesn’t match the responsibility. I’m constantly behind on notes and I’m scared to take a day off because I'm scared of how bad it will go with me gone. Patients cry, yell, thank me, and then I go home feeling like I’ve been wrung out.

Yesterday was the worst so far. One provider was double booked, another called out, three rooms needed cleaning, someone’s insurance wanted “just one more form,” and a patient fainted in the lobby while I was trying to grab vaccines. I left work late again, sat in my car, and just stared at the steering wheel because I’m not sure I can keep doing this.

Before I make any decisions… how do you all cope? Are there things to make this job more manageable, or is this just what the job is?
