Tired of LTC/rehab, thinking about going back to the hospital

Seeking Advice

I moved from NH back to MA, and I’m looking to go back to the hospital to work night shift again. My past two jobs I’ve done LTC/rehab management and my mental health has taken a huge deep dive, with the fact that I’m consistently having to fix other people’s mistakes and dealing with staff that just doesn’t want to learn. I’m so over it. And I just can’t do day shift. I did nights as an LPN for 6 years and did my first 6 months as a hospital RN overnight too.

Just ranting and seeing how others feel. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I thought I really wanted to go back to SNF, and I did, but it’s just procedurally broken and my heart is broken working for an extremely cheap company with no morals.

I live in the Greater Boston area so I have many options around me… wish me luck 🙏🏻
