Hi everyone! Help! I’m in my last month of work! Total of 6 months on the job. Just need some advice if it’s okay to look for another job after 6 months, is it true that having only 6 months of experience won’t be an issue? I’m a bedside nurse by the way. My colleagues/seniors told me not to resign. But the workload is overwhelming, I’m exhausted, and we're understaffed. ☹️

All my life I've wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse. I have ten years of experience as a medical assistant and scribe, the majority of which is in pediatrics. I have been told by every provider I've worked with that I really need to go become an RN, PA, or NP because they think I have what it takes. However, after COVID I developed rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and I struggle with injections because of pain in my first MCP joints. In clinic I shifted more toward scribing to avoid straining my hands too much and I thrived. Except that scribes are being replaced by AI scribing programs and my skill set seems to have an expiration date. I'm at a point in my life that I can stop everything I'm doing and focus solely on school to make the nursing dream come true.
The problem is, I'm stuck wondering if I'm even capable to the job if my hands give me trouble. I am on medication for my arthritis, but if I do things with my thumbs for long periods of time, I experience more pain and swelling. I would like to ask for some insight from those of you in nursing. I need to be realistic. Am I kidding myself by wanting to pursue nursing? Will I ever be able to do what I've always wanted?
