Burnt out working inpatient

am working inpatient and have a little over a year left to achieve the number of payments for PSLF. I just simply cannot do it. I am so burned out. I am getting tired of the thankless work, acuity, and so many other things. Any suggestions on what I should do- do I just stick around for another year? I wish there was some sort of telepsych work from home gig that was PSLF eligible. My work is turning me into a grumpy cynical human and I hate who I’m becoming. I don’t feel well supported at my job, feel it is dangerous, social workers are straight out of school seemingly with something to prove, nursing turnover is constantly. I can compile a never ending list. I just want out, for my own sake and my family’s. Any guidance on what I should do?
