Sad everyday as a post grad trying to find a job

SushiRose09 — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 03:11:04 GMT

Hi everyone!

I am a 23 yo F who recently finished my bachelors degree in nursing and now just have to find full time employment. I work as an assistant in nursing in the meantime and find it extremely stressful as I am often placed with dementia patients who tend to be physically aggressive. I am struggling with negative thoughts of not finding full time employment as a registered nurse and really want to leave my job as an AIN. Recently my partner has also started full time employment and I am finding the time apart hard as we often spend most of our time together. I do not work most days and am employed casually. Everyday I have overwhelming feelings of sadness and find myself having random outbursts of tears, it happens a lot when I am alone and at the end of my shifts at work. I am just really stuck in an endless cycle of negative thoughts and was wondering if anyone had any good coping mechanisms.

Dear SushiRose9~

I've answered this at the end of your original thread as it seemed more appropriate, hope you do not mind

Hey SushiRose09,

Thank you so much for posting here, welcome to the forums. Like Croix, I have also left a reply in your previous thread that I'll link to here:

I understand your frustration of not finding a job post-grad. It's difficult. It sounds to me like working more, and in a field that's related to your degree, would lift your spirits significantly. Even if you're just wanting to break into the field, admin roles in healthcare can help you network and potentially find connections that can lead you to a job that you're happy with.

Take care, SB
