I was a critical care RN when I had to quit. I had noticed that I was having a more difficult time remembering names of meds, doctors, etc. I remember looking at someones old chart and reading the depth of the charting I had done on the old chart and knowing what the lack of depth in my present charting. Then I had an exacerbation and the decision was taken out of my hands. After the exacerbation, I had such fatigue that I knew I couldn't go back to work.

It is a very difficult decision, one that you know affects your whole life. Your job is so emotional, I'm sure it puts more of a tole on you than a lot of our jobs. I wish you luck in making your decision. Cherie is a good one to read her job history. She found a niche in her life in nursing after her dx.
