I moved back to my parents house 2 years ago this month after quitting my first job out of college. I was at the job for 1.5 years and hated it. I signed up for a PCT training job at a hospital nearby because I was interested in becoming a nurse. After a few months in, I learned a lot but saw so many burned out nurses. I got discouraged by listening to what these nurses and other PCTs have to say. I quit after a year and found a job similar to my first job. It paid well and I needed that to pay my debt. 

Then I got into a car accident a few months after the job and I couldn’t afford another car, but I needed a car to get to work. My parents bought a cash car for me that I’m still paying off. Then I got promoted at my job as an assistant manager and I hated it. I quit a couple months after. But I made sure I had another job lined up. 

This job is at a rehab (post surgery rehab) and it’s a PCT job there. I was supposed to start on Sept 14 but my drug test results took too long so they had to move my start date to Oct 5 which isn’t horrible. But my parents hate that I’m always home now, and they think I’m a failure for not planning ahead and that I should’ve stayed at my previous job before I started my new Job. 

Meanwhile my friends are thriving. Traveling, love their jobs, etc. I feel like a complete failure. I haven’t felt like this since I was 21. 

I am starting my nursing journey in January where I will take pre reqs for ABSN. Hoping to start in Jan 2028, but I’m excited to start. 

Bon appetit

I feel like a failure in my mid 20s
