You sound like you’re dealing with my old friend burnout. Take a vacation and see how you feel after it. You have lots of options if you’re truly (and understandably) done with nursing. Nurses can do anything IMO.

Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don’t know what they don’t know.

IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
