You story was very compelling but when your job at, the end of the day, results in you collapsing in tears, you have an obligation to yourself and the patients you attend to, to find another line of work.
You sir, are totally burned out
Burned out? Far from it! One very rough day does not make a person burned out. This day was very tough. But I love my work, and on any other day I feeel totally jazzed about going in to work. I think you missed my point.
Having one awful, overwhelming day, does not mean you are burned out. Doctors and nurses can expect to experience a number of those days over the course of their careers.

Get a clue. It’s not like there’s a long line of competent, experienced and not-burned-out ER nurses waiting to take 60Gunner’s place if he quits. He quits and his hospital or another one will have one less competent and experienced ER nurse, and more people will die waiting for help.
Probably nothing that a few days vacation couldn’t fix.
