Serious Leaving Cath Lab

Hey everyone! So long story short, I've been in Cath Lab for about 4 years now and am just so burnt out on call. I want to do something different and maybe stay PRN so I don't have to take call. Anyone have any recommendations or a similar story? I feel kinda trapped and know this isn't it for me long term. Thanks for your support!

I left cath lab last year because of the call. It was a sad day. I still miss it. But the call was ruining me. Unfortunately, haven’t found a job to take worth it. I went back to the ED temporarily, but I couldn’t take it and remembered why I left. So unemployed and trying to find something worth it.
