POV: You're 10 years into healthcare remembering how you told everyone you wanted a secure career, a good salary, a pension and a job for life.
Now you're exhausted, your days off are recovery days, you're picking up overtime to afford your life and you're quietly wondering how much longer your body can keep doing this.
But at least you've got JOB SECURITY, right? 🤡

You chose this. You chose this every day. You could have opted out of this any day before it got unmanageably big.

Healthcare girlies… the way we spent YEARS getting qualified just to spend the next 30 years exhausted is actually WILD. 😭😂 And the worst part isn’t even the 12-hour shifts. It’s realising you’ve built your entire financial security around a job your body might not want to keep doing forever. I spent 10 years in healthcare before leaving. I didn’t hate my career. I hated feeling like my only choices were to keep going or lose my financial security. And I know I’m not the only one who’s felt that way. You don’t have to quit healthcare. But you ARE allowed to build a life where your payslip doesn’t get the final say.
